[debian-mysql] Bug#527623: mysql-server-5.0: 38_scripts__mysqld_safe.sh__signals.dpatch is inherently

[Mathias Gug]

Here is a patch applied in Ubuntu that adresses the issue.

The problem comes from the fact that mysqld_safe starts mysqld and then
waits for its crash. However installing a trap for SIGHUP makes the wait
command return immediately when a SIGHUP is received by mysqld_safe.
This leads mysqld_safe to proceed and kill the remaining mysqld process
(which hasn't crashed). The proposed fix is to add a wait command to the
trap.

More information can be found in the Ubuntu bug:
