PID-File from Bind 9.3.1

My experience with BIND 9.3 is that a normal "SIGTERM" kill results in=20=
a second or two of final housekeeping/whatever and BIND deletes the PID=20=
file after it has done this other work. Thus if you start another BIND=20=
process too soon after a kill, the stopping process will delete the new=20=
PID file.
