I can confirm this bug. I've been tearing my hair out for a little while trying to figure out why a reboot screwed up the mysql server.
It does indeed work on the inital run, but fails after that. This is on amd64. -- mysql-server-5.0 5.0.24a-9 receives signal 4 on startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/66702 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
