I've just successfully upgraded from 4.1.9 to 4.1.13 (all are

MySQL with mysqld_safe (for example /usr/bin/mysqld_safe --
user=mysql&).
See:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/starting-server.html
It wasn't the startup script that was the problem, but your
suggestion did reveal it; it turns out that the rpm (I can't think of
anything else that had the opportunity and I certainly didn't do
something so silly) had deleted the mysql user and group, so it
couldn't start up as the mysql user. I manually recreated the user
and group using the original IDs (both 27 in this case), and I was
then able to launch the server successfully.
