commit 959000679811547d9c3857ed17d279aa1f0b99df

    pmcd_wait now responds to ENOENT.

    ENOENT indicates that the pmcd's unix domain socket file has
    not yet been created. pmcd_wait will try again, up to the configured
    maximum number of times.

    This commit also reverts commit
    d62b31c5282c6133c87d067db28b3cd440f650f3 which is no longer
    necessary.
