Ignore it, it's a stray bug ;)

ok, longer version....named chroot's to it's own directory after changing
to user named, unfortunatly, that makes /var/run relative to the new root
, so it gets all confused, however, it doesn't need to recreate this file
anyhow since reload doesn't change the pid in the first place -/
