Comment (by ryandesign):

 I agree, there is a syntax error in mysqld_safe. Line 802 through 812 are:

 {{{
 # If there exists an old pid file, check if the daemon is already running
 # Note: The switches to 'ps' may depend on your operating system
 if test -f "$pid_file"
 then
   PID=`cat "$pid_file"`
   if kill -0 $PID > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
   then
     if
     then    # The pid contains a mysqld process
       log_error "A mysqld process already exists"
       exit 1
 }}}

 There should be something after that `if` on line 809.

 In the original source code, those lines in scripts/mysqld_safe.sh are:

 {{{
 # If there exists an old pid file, check if the daemon is already running
 # Note: The switches to 'ps' may depend on your operating system
 if test -f "$pid_file"
 then
   PID=`cat "$pid_file"`
   if @CHECK_PID@
   then
     if @FIND_PROC@
     then    # The pid contains a mysqld process
       log_error "A mysqld process already exists"
       exit 1
 }}}

 So evidently the placeholder `@FIND_PROC@` is getting replaced with the
 empty string, and should be getting replaced with something else instead.
