Package: munin-node
Version: 1.2.5-1
Severity: important

If the program have crashed and there is a pidfile left. Then the program won't start and will provide a cryptic error message:

Couldn't find pid in existing pid_file at /usr/share/perl5/Net/Server/Daemonize.pm line 61.

Instead of handling the situation of a bad pidfile by removing the old pidfile and creating a new one.
