yes, but the problem is somewhere else
look at the bugreport, it happened also witout the PIDFile line

well, yesterday i upgraded production to Fedora 20
maybe that is now solved anyways

i will report in both cases in the RH bugzilla

* if it did not happen again for 3 weeks
* if it happens again

pretty sure a regression in the last F19 systemd update only
in rare situations triggered or at least it got bader with
that version since the "/usr/bin/sleep 1" workaround did
no longer help relieable
