pgrep/pkill -F expects \n (Debian Bug report #676709)

Hi,

I'm sending the patch to fix Debian bug report #676709:

pgrep/pkill -F expects "\n". If not present, no process is found/killed:

> wc -l /run/atd.pid
1 /run/atd.pid

> pgrep -F /run/atd.pid
1213

> wc -l /run/NetworkManager.pid
0 /run/NetworkManager.pid

> pgrep -F /run/NetworkManager.pid
