So, I'd really like to have mysql working on OS X and while there were a
few people trying it out and having difficulty, I have yet to see any
posts of total success.
I'm an experienced MacOS programmer, but I have little experience on
Unix -- so I'm way behind the curve on looking at the source and
figuring it out. My only thought is to try to dive in and run mysqld
via gdb and then try to figure out the source tree sufficiently to see
where the shutdown (HUP?) message is getting handled and then set a
breakpoint to see if that code is ever getting called and watch where it
gets stuck by tracing from there.
Unfortunately, I don't know how to use gdb (yet), and there is a LOT of
source to slog through to find where the shutdown code is. Perhaps a
more experienced unix hack could recommend some starting places; perhaps
someone more experienced with the mysql source could point me to the
locations of signal handling code (I hope it's not too obvious, since I
haven't even looked yet... :-( Got to get gdb working first... ).
So, if there is something I can do here to help get the issues resolved,
I'd like to do so. Please feel free to email me directly with
suggestions, staring points etc., if that helps.
Thanks,
Tyler

P.S. The problems I have seen posted and experienced myself are:
1) the small edit to get it to compile (not a big deal, but should get
fixed)
2) The mysqld cannot be stopped short of kill -9
3) trying to use mysqladmin shutdown to stop mysqld (and safe_mysql)
fails (hangs, requires kill -9 to halt)
4) the tests do not work.
4a) make test fails
4b) mysql-test-run fails
