Comment(by nickm):

 Sorry for the delay -- I don't have a great sense of what the right fix
 here is.  I'd say that dying immediately is fine: if we don't have enough
 disk space to write our PID,  we'll probably fail soon because of the low
 space anyway.

 If daemonizing, it might be nice to be able to report this kind of failure
 to the parent process in a sane way, but we don't have a good means to do
 so right now.  We'd need to add one.
