Description:
mysqld_safe does not set open-files-limit as specified in my.cnf.

How to repeat:
Add to /etc/my.cnf:

[safe_mysqld]
open-files-limit=8192

Start mysql and look at value of open_files_limit.

Suggested fix:
In mysqld_safe, change the line:

args="open-files-limit=$open_files $args"

to:

args="--open-files-limit=$open_files $args"
