Hi
 Sorry for the late reply -
When this happens check to make sure that you don't have another mysql
process around somewhere.  Quite often when I see weird behavior on
mysql or other programs, some process is duplicated.  If you have a
start up script or a logrotate script that may cause some troubles.
