Hi,

Description of problem:

Pidof can't get the pid when using full path.

Manpage says:

"[...] When pidof is invoked with a full pathname to the program it 
should find the pid of, it is reasonably safe. Otherwise it is possible 
that it returns pids of running programs that happen to have the same 
name as the program you're after but are actually other programs [...]"

This patch fix above problem in for_each_pid_with_name_in() function 
(lib/pending.c).
