I saw this same issue when I was testing 4.9.5 out on a solaris 7 box. 
It looked to me like the 'interchange --stop' command was overwriting
the pid file before it read its contents.  You can see this by checking
the pid file before and after you run the stop command.

Hope that sheds some light on the problem,
