Issue with Octopus queue not processing

After completely fresh and seemingly sucessful install one day later queue not processing.

Although I found the answer in this thread, since I had a complete fresh and sucessful (no errors, platforms all validated and I was initially able to create sites no problem) thought I'd report this as a possible issue.

Steps:
1. Linode, Debian Squeeze 32bit
2. DNS domain.com and *.domain.com, wait a day for dns propagation
3. Run install script as directed for barracuda install, no errors system apparently functioning normally.
4. Run install script as directed for myuser.domain.com, no errors system comes up with all platforms, platforms validate normally
5. Create a test site based on D7P. Works, no problems, queue appears to function normally.
6. Shut down the linode.
7. Come back 1 day later boot linode
8. Attempt to create a new site for same "client" (this time Atrium), queue not processing.

Quick search found the above article. Delete the offending .pid file, and queue starts processing shortly thereafter.

So I'm all set now, but with no error reports and an apparently functioning system the fact that it suddenly stopped processing the octopus aegir queue seemed like an issue to report.

Thanks for a great system. Lot's of fun to play with ;)
