Error: pid file 'x' exists but contains no pid

I've been installing CentOS 6 and some application software on a few machines, and a couple times when I do so, when I attempt to start the service of the main application software, I get the error:

Error: pid file 'x' exists but contains no pid
Error: pid file 'x' exists but contains no pid
INFO: pidfile created : '/var/run/x.pid' (pid '' )

Could someone broadly explain the condition, which a service may create a pid file, but the OS is not able to assign a pid number to it, so I can better troubleshoot the problem?
