If you run bin/buildout then you run the risk of replacing
bin/instance and parts/instance.  If the instance is still running
while doing this, you end up with a rogue process, preventing you from
restarting the instance.  You can always find it with something like
'ps aux' and kill it of course, but I prefer a more gentle approach.
