Hi!

I have found a little bug in the /etc/init.d/mysql script.
I am using tmpfs under /var/run. (In /etc/default/rcS -> RAMRUN=yes)
In this case the startup script tries to create the /var/run/mysqld 
subdirectory.
Unfortunately the script creates a /755 directory instead of 
/var/run/mysqld... :D

This is the sollution:

Original:
106: test -e /var/run/mysqld || install -d 755 -o mysql -g root 
/var/run/mysqld

Fixed:
106: test -e /var/run/mysqld || install -m 755 -o mysql -g root -d 
/var/run/mysqld

MySql server version: 5.1.36-4

Please fix it! :D

Thank you

Swifty a.k.a. Gáspár Lajos
