Are you certain that's necessary?
It was a decision made, weighing various trade-offs, 4 years ago now.

What you replicated is not what happens when your problem occurs. Processes don't do things like that with each others PID files.
That is true.
But the system does recycle pids, especially after a reboot.
I appreciate all the feedback and input from everyone who responded.
Thank you!! You have answered our questions, and it gives us food for thought.
