OK, now I can reproduce it, thanks.

Please apply the attached patch to pmie_check and let me know if this
resolves the problem.

There is no doubt that the logic for matching up the control file with
the pmie instances is busted in the presence of symlinks on the path
to the pmie log file ... if anyone else has seen this, please apply the
patch and let me know if it resolves the problem.
