a 'grep pid' in the source directory gives me :

misc/mailman:# pidfile: /home/mailman/data/qrunner.pid
misc/mailman.in:# pidfile: @prefix@/data/qrunner.pid

so how does mailman know to put its pidfile into /var/run/ ??

I just can find /home/mailman/data/qrunner.pid ; and there is a lock file at
/home/mailman/locks/master-qrunner.miel.667
