Description

if puppetd can't find its server, it dies without cleaning up its PID file

e.g., under OS X: 

roxanne; sudo puppetd -v
notice: Starting Puppet client version 0.19.1
info: Creating PID file to /var/puppet/run/puppetd.pid
err: Could not find server puppet

and then, once I added a quickie host entry for 'puppet' 

roxanne; sudo puppetd -v
notice: Starting Puppet client version 0.19.1
err: Could not start Puppet::Client::MasterClient: A PID file already exists for puppetd
    at /var/puppet/run/puppetd.pid.  Not starting.
notice: No remaining services; exiting

No process was running under the PID in the file.
