echo nit

in .../mysql/mysql.server at line 158:

[ -z "$flags" ] && echo "Wait for mysqld to exit\c" || echo ".\c"

yields

Wait for mysqld to exit\c
..\c
..\c

What was probably wanted was

Wait for mysqld to exit...

\c, as I recall, was the Bourne shell way of saying echo -n

Suggested fix (at least for bsd-derived unixes):

[ -z "$flags" ] && echo -n "Wait for mysqld to exit" || echo -n "."

How-To-Repeat:
1. Stop server
2. Look at the output.
