[LTP] Re-running ltp after killing it

Looking into runltp script it prepares a file with a list of testcases
to run, then starts ltp-pan which uses the file to execute the tests,
writes the logfiles, etc.

The only explanation I can think of is that the first run wasn't killed
properly and the ltp-pan stayed running in the background and both
instances were writing to the same result files, but that is just wild
guess.

No.
