In latest clamav 0.97.2, when stopping freshclam daemon the usual way,
its pidfile doesn't get removed

root at utest-oos32:~# ps ax |grep freshclam
 6468 ? Ss 0:01 /usr/bin/freshclam -d --quiet
 6473 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto freshclam

root at utest-oos32:~# cat /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid
6468

root at utest-oos32:~# /etc/init.d/clamav-freshclam stop
 * Stopping ClamAV virus database updater freshclam [ OK ]

root at utest-oos32:~# ps ax |grep freshclam
 6609 pts/0 S+ 0:00 grep --color=auto freshclam

root at utest-oos32:~# cat /var/run/clamav/freshclam.pid
6468
root at utest-oos32:~#

In contrast, when stopping clamav-daemon its pidfile does get removed.
