By default the port will run as root and is therefore able to write a pid file
in /var/run. However, when setting setuid in the config file as recommended,
this is not possible. It seems the pid file is not written by stunnel before
dropping privileges. I'm not sure what the best fix for this would be, but it'd
be great if I could run stunnel as non-root.
