Description:
~/5.1.30/bin:08:46:45:Qalbi $ ./mysql_zap mysqld_safe
ps: No user named 'xww'

Which is because of:
$BSD = -f '/vmunix' || $ENV{"OS"} eq "SunOS4" || $^O eq 'darwin';
$LINUX = $^O eq 'linux';
$pscmd = $BSD ? "/bin/ps -auxww" : $LINUX ? "/bin/ps axuw" : "/bin/ps -ef";

How to repeat:
run mysql_zap with any arg

Suggested fix:
Place darwin into linux instead, like this:

$BSD = -f '/vmunix' || $ENV{"OS"} eq "SunOS4";
$LINUX = $^O eq 'linux' || $^O eq 'darwin';
$pscmd = $BSD ? "/bin/ps -auxww" : $LINUX ? "/bin/ps axuw" : "/bin/ps -ef";

That will fix it:

~/5.1.30/bin:08:51:10:Qalbi $ ./mysql_zap 5075

      The arguments to use for ps on Mac OS X were mis-detected by the mysql_zap

Noted in 5.4.2 changelog because next 5.4 version will be 5.4.2 and not 5.4.4.

Ignore the "cosmetic change" remark in the previous comment.
