The cache file is in format "undocache-PID-n.bin" where the n is INT and
probably means number of the cache file for the given PID. So if we know PID
which created the cache, we should be able to just find out, if there is
such process running, no? And if no, then delete it.

Hmm...the cache itself is quite useless, it's only the image data for fast
image switching with undo/redo, but it doesn't contain the actual info about
the undo/redo operations, opened file etc. So the file is useless for new
running instance.
