By afishbeck:

I'm curious whether the process that writes the pid files also skips numbering those that were skipped by this continue statement?

i.e. will whatever causes the address to be empty also cause you to get out of sync with the numbering scheme?

If that is the case you could move, processNumber++ above.

But if the pid files will follow the same logic you are probably ok.
