[Pgpool-general] More fun with pgpool errors

[Brad Nicholson]

I've been doing some initial testing of pgpool as well, and I've hit 
this condtion.  If the process in the pgpool.pid file dies, the pool 
can't be shut down cleanly.  Another related bug I've seen is that if 
you run pgpool start while the pool is already running, it deletes the 
pgpool.pid file, and all connections through the pool fail.
