For more info see the dupes, particularily bug 105457. Does not happen always, for reliable test case see below. This is a bug (race condition) in dash, partly fixed by http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/dash/dash.git;a=commit;h=3800d4934391b144fd261a7957aea72ced7d47ea . This fixes the test case and mysqld_safe, but introduces another regression: http://eeek.borgchat.net/lists/dash/msg00268.html (patch for that in the thread) TEST CASE: Script in the commit message (link above). Allows to reproduce this always, even on Karmic still. (Proposed fix of using #!/bin/bash instead of #!/bin/sh is not as straigtforward as expected. bash called as sh goes into sh compatibility mode, called as bash it may behave subtle differently) NOTES: mysqld_safe was replaced by an upstart job in Lucid. But Hardy has support for 3 more years, justifiying a fix.
