If find_pid_by_name() had an error, it was returning -1, but storing

that into a pid_t, which is unsigned on a number archs.  Furthermore,
find_pid_by_name() would _never_ return an error if the intended proces
was "init", but instead would return 1, meaning we would fail to work
on 2.4.x kernels running an initrd...
