Dunno if this will help or not, I'll just throw it out for consideration. I'm just learning PHP, Javascript etc. and tend to make a lot of mistakes in my scripts at this point. When I write a script that executes a binary on the Apache server (NT 4.0 SP6a) and it goes off into na-na land, I terminate the page loading under netscape with the <esc> key. This leaves dead Apache child processes in the background, one for each page load that is canceled. Any possibility you've got some scripts running/barfing when you start up mySQL?
