I was working on sendmail on a 4.11 STABLE amchine today, and I've
been doing various "make stop, make start, and make restarts's
in /etc/mail. Now I've noticed that the make stop's are complaining 
baout not finding the PID file, and indeed there is no /var/run/sendmail.pid
file, after a "make start" But sendmail _does_ seem to be running.

Where should I start looking for this?
