 varnishd creates its pid file with the file mode 0600, which is too
 restrictive.  If one really wants to conceal the pid that a varnishd runs
 under, it is easy to put the pid file into a directory that is world-
 unreadable or use a proper umask.  The other way round, this problem is
 impossible to fix.  We need to check whether varnishd runs using a non-
 privileged process and we don't want that process to have elevated
 privilege just to read the varnishd pid file.  The fix is trivial, patch
 attached.
