I would imagine that on starting the vob_server if it finds an existing .pid
it would just overwrite it - the key being that the vob_server is being
started from scratch. We've had problems when our IT department restored
some views from backup but didn't ct endview -server them first - the views
use a similar .pid file too, which obviously screwed things big time.
