I have the same problem.
Yesterday I stopped mysqld through the init.d script, which worked, because there was no listener active, no socketfile, and init.d/mysql status said: Stopped.
But I looked on my server today, and there was still a mysqld_safe process taking up 100% cpu.

strace -p [mysqld_safe pid] endlessly says:
wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)
wait4(-1, 0xbff21280, 0, NULL) = -1 ECHILD (No child processes)

There's no information in mysql.err and mysql.log at all.
I installed the server yesterday, and made no changes in my.cnf. It's completely standard.

Mysql version is: 5.0.45-1ubuntu3.1
