Description of problem:
__pids_pidof() function in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions fails to return the
pid if the process has a different root directory.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-8.31.1-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Issue command "service thttpd start"
2.  Issue command "service thttpd status"
3.  Observe bogus message "thttpd dead but pid file exists"
  
Actual results:
The __pids_pidof() in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions sometimes fails to return
the pid of a process.  Failures happen when the process has a different
root directory.  This will ALWAYS be true with some services, for example
thttpd, since it does a chroot() !!

Expected results:
The function __pids_pidof() should always work.

Additional info:
The function looks like this:

# Output PIDs of matching processes, found using pidof
__pids_pidof() {
	pidof -c -o $$ -o $PPID -o %PPID -x "$1" || \
		pidof -c -o $$ -o $PPID -o %PPID -x "${1##*/}"
}

The cause of the problem is the '-c' option which causes the pidof
command to only return process ids that are running with the same root
directory.

Is that **really** necessary?  Why was that explicitly done?  If you get
rid of the option (as per RHEL3 & 4) it will work always.
