licq should check for stale pidfile

[Peter Eisentraut <peter_e@…>]

15:32:28: [ERR] Licq: Already running at pid 4793.
                      Kill process or remove /home/nemesis/.licq/licq.pid.

This is an annoyance because no error is reported in the GUI, so it appears that licq is simply doing nothing. Even worse, there is no process 4793, so the pidfile is obviously stale. licq should check for that. An even better check would be to write /proc/self/cmdline also into the pidfile, and then see if /proc/<pid>/cmdline matches that. Then even if a different process has taken over the pid, licq can still start successfully.
