Without the fix I mentioned in the original report, mysql gets restarted once. Obviously mysqld_safe uses some CPU to do this (it will do one iteration of the loop at the bottom of the script). mysqld_safe is not looping and restarting mysql multiple times, which is, I think, the behaviour you were asking about.

No, it does not sit at the top of `top`.
It is strange that it only falls through once.
