Hello

Don't worry that I'm downgrading the bug it's just that this problem has
not been reported by anyone else so I suspect that there is something
unexpected on your system. Apart from that consider upgrading to lenny!

Can you send a "df -h" to see if maybe /var is 100% full?

Do you use selinux or any other "security" mechanisms on your server?

Gives "grep mysql /var/log/auth.log /var/log/kern.log" anything?

Does "ls -la /var/run/mysqld" look like this:
  drwxr-xr-x  2 mysql root  4096 24. Jul 06:41 .
  drwxr-xr-x 31 root  root  4096 24. Jul 06:41 ..
Maybe it is not owned by the mysql user.

If all fails to 'strace -e trace=file -o mysqld.trace /usr/sbin/mysqld" and
then do "grep var/run mysqld.trace".

bye,

-christian-
