Obviously it can't write to /var/run!  My intent was to point out that 
alpha 2 wrote the pidfile as root.  The alpha 3 "Cleanup stale PID file on 
startup" apparently changed pidfile user too.  I didn't know if that was 
the intended behavior.

Anyway, I moved the pidfile to the database directory which is writable 
and works.

Thanks.
