 I recently upgraded to 5.6.44 and then found that I couldn't start the
 database server using mysqld_safe. It starts and then just ends.
 Unfortunately, I cannot find anything useful in the logs or more
 information when I try using commands directly.

 I did uninstall the port, remove all the folders and try and again with
 the same result.

 5.7 works fine but is causing me problems for other reasons so I'd like to
 stick with 5.6 if possible.
