Ok, great work - but... ;-)
I think we need to patch this in a different spot: extra/my_print_defaults.c
Then any other scripts/tools that use the same will also be fixed, rather than
just mysqld_safe.
Also, some distros replace/patch mysqld_safe (have their own foo) but the
my_print_defaults binary should always be around and get updated.
I would suggest we fix this in main() in or just before the loop that outputs
the params:
for (argument= arguments+1 ; *argument ; argument++)
puts(*argument);

mysqld_safe does not honour underscores in options like mysqld does

Status in OurDelta - Builds for MySQL: Confirmed
Bug description:
mysqld accepts both dashes and underscores in server options, however
mysqld_safe does not.
Since it's unclear from the user's perspective (and they shouldn't NEED to
know!) which options get processed only by mysqld_safe, this can mean that they
use an option in the wrong way but don't notice it.
Example... open_files_limit
When written like that, it mysqld_safe will not recognise it and thus not call
ulimit -n
...
The option WILL be feed to mysqld so it shows the "correct" number in SHOW
GLOBAL VARIABLES. Except, since ulimit wasn't called, it's not actually in
effect!
