I've seen it after installing two versions of MySQL on one server.
I forgot to set another location for the second MySQL process
before starting it with /bin/safe_mysqld. The result was that the
socket was removed by the second process.
Looking at safe_mysqld you would probably get the same result if
you run multiple MySQL processes of the same version but from
different data directories.
