If the mail fetched failed once (due to whatever reason) the process id is still
present and OTRS thinks there is still a process running although there isn't.
However, you should check if OTRS may not be right after all and if you have a
dangling PostMasterPOP3 process. If there is none, then chances are that it is
just the leftover process id.

Check the table proces_id in the database (select * from process_id). There is
an entry named likewise. Just delete it and and a new execution of
PostMasterPOP3.pl should work.

Cheers
 Tobias
