Most from it not waiting long enough for mysqld to shutdown. By default shutdown waits for InnoDB to flush all dirty pages and with a large buffer pool that can take a long time. The result is that it times out before mysqld stops and that can will make 'mysqld restart' not restart mysqld. I have had some fun with mysqld_safe.
