I've installed MAMP 1.8.3 on a Mac mini running OS X 10.6.1, and mySQL is not starting. It's a brand new install, no databases have been created, no previous installs. Fresh install of OS X, too. Everything worked yesterday, but today the log file is telling me:

As far as I know there's nothing running on 8889! There is no other instance of mySQL on the machine. Yesterday, I quit MAMP, but didn't reboot. Just now I tried changing the mySQL port to 9001 - everything worked. I changed it back to 8889, it stopped. I rebooted, and it seems to be working, now! (On 8889.) I've stopped and started it a few times, and it seems to be happy. (Apache has been working all along.)
Is this a known bug, or just a freakish event?
Thanks!
