Is your daemon recording its PID in /var/run/${base}.pid (where
${base} is its base filename)?  If not, try doing that, because this
will enable killproc to find and kill the right thread if the process
uses LinuxThreads.  This must of course be done after any fork()ing
used in creating the daemon process.
