This should work.  The status check in the mysqld script needs to return
an error (i.e. non-zero) if the 'status' command is run and the service
is not running.

Probably a segfault which was fixed in CVS about two weeks ago...  It
was the cause of several problems, actually.

If it's not the above, could you provide more information?  Ex. is the
service being reported as "stopped" in "clustat" output?

In the meantime, I will look at the script resource and see if there is
anything obvious.
