The init.d functions script has a shell function called
status().  In the course of getting the status of a daemon
it must find its pid.

If pidof fails, it does a "ps | grep" to find it.  However,
the grep process itself shows up in the output.  This is
a common pitfall with this method; the usual remedy is to
add "| grep -v grep" in the pipeline to strip it out.

Patch en route.
