Oh dear -- this again.  There was a lot of traffic on this list some
months ago when this first occurred.  You need to update your MySQL
server port, and copy the mysql-server.sh-dist that provides to
mysql-server.sh

What happened is that a /bin/sh bug was fixed, and consequently
erroneous shell constructs like:

     foo & && bar

now generate Syntax errors.
