As described in our SIGNALS documentation, sending SIGHUP to the
old master (to respawn SIGWINCH-ed children) while the new
master (spawned from SIGUSR2) is active is useful for backing
out of an upgrade before sending SIGQUIT to the new master.
Unfortunately, the SIGHUP signal to the old master will cause
the ".oldbin" pid file to be reset to the non-".oldbin" version
and thus attempt to clobber the pid file in use by the
to-be-terminated new master process.
Thanks to the previous commit to prevent redaemonization in the
new master, the old master can reliably detect if the new master
is active while it is reloading the config file.
Thanks to Lawrence Pit for discovering this bug.
