In your shoes what I would be doing now is backup your entire mysql
install (everything listed in "equery files mysql"), delete the package
(emerge -C) and remerge mysql.
Then check if starting and stopping works correctly. I suspect you'll
find it will. Now you just need to diff these new files with your
backups and find differences.
Yes, this is sort of the long way round but you're not having much luck
asking "anyone seen this before?", so now it's time to bring out the
big guns
Well, I'd much prefer some more basic troubleshooting first...
I've asked for some kind soul/souls to share their init scripts so I can
compare - but I guess I couldg go first... here is the contents of
