Package: mysql-server-5.5
Version: 5.5.41-0+wheezy1
Severity: wishlist
Due to a bug in dash (#782540), mysqld_safe will kill and restart mysqld
if the latter is stopped with SIGSTOP. Apparently, some VPSes throttle
CPU usage by this mechanism. Hilarity ensues.
Although this is not a bug in mysql per se, using /bin/bash instead of
/bin/sh (which is often dash) would effectively circumvent this bug,
without (I assume) any noticable impact. (If you can afford to run
mysqld, surely you can handle bash as well. g)
Note that mariadb already uses bash, albeit for a different reason (LP:
#675185).
