Bug#11122: Server won't always start when cold-booting after a crash
The grep expression that finds a running "mysqld" program fails if the
"mysqld_safe" is running with the same PID.
Now, excise "ps" output that has the word " grep" or "mysqld_safe" in
it, to be a little more certain that the matched process is not a false
positive hit. This will fail when the path to mysqld contains either
of those two names, which should be acceptable.
Additionally, some text to search could be truncated if very long.
Expand the number of lines "ps" emits.

-# Lock for PS
+# Look for PS usage. We use double dollar-signs in FIND_PROC because this
+# value is written to a makefile, which interprets away one level of
+# dollar-signs. So, interpretation stages are m4 and then shell in autoconf,
+# then Make, then shell .
+#
+# We use grep -E Foo space-or-EOL so that we don't falsely match "Foo_safe" .
+# Assumption is that if there are parameters, the system represents them using
+# space as a seperator. This has the side effect that the matching expression
+# does not match itself, and so grep won't self-match.
