Comment #1 on issue 240 by dorma...@rydia.net: -d with local -P fail
http://code.google.com/p/memcached/issues/detail?id=240
This was originally added in 032912ce0c3a1cbf3a14395a8a621f48544ddc71
but trond changed part of it in a bug fix:
af48b1005639d3cb1dea4e08dd9d2e33a2289a95
in trond's change he silently removed the need for the -d flag to create
the pidfile, but nothing deletes it on exit. You'll also never see the
errors from it.
I may punt on this for 1.4.12 since it might be necessary to do a little
more refactoring to get this "correct": open the pidfile pre-fork, write
any error about trying to open it. fork, then listen or die?
Anyway, will fix it. maybe just not right now.
