Description:
mysql server can not start,nothing in error log!

write "skip_name_resolve = ON"  or  "skip-name-resolve = ON" in my.ini ,
mysqld.exe can not start,and nothing in error log!!!

write "skip_name_resolve = ON"  or  "skip-name-resolve = ON" in linux /etc/my.cnf ,
mysqld can not start,error log say:"option '--skip-name-resolve' cannot take an argument"

just because mysql handbook write not clearly,then some one of mysql users write Variable wrong.
the same (wrong) Variable in my.cnf,
linux version mysql-5.1.51 can write error message in error log,
but windows version mysql-5.1.51 write nothing in error log,
this not bug???
mysql server can not start,nothing in error log,not a bug?

How to repeat:
write "skip_name_resolve = ON"  or  "skip-name-resolve = ON" in my.ini ,
mysqld.exe can not start,and nothing in error log!!!

Yes,look for my old windows Application log,i found it.thanks,
but that is windows function.that is not MYSQL error log.
handbook No.5.2.2 say: "On Windows, error output is always written to the host_name.err",but fail in doing. 
Some one do this wrong,doubt again.

As your point,some one write "skip_name_resolve = ON"  or  "skip-name-resolve = ON" in linux my.cnf again,
do not log "option '--skip-name-resolve' cannot take an argument" in linux MYSQL errror.log,
write that in /var/log/messages is good.
"Wrong do nothing change, but also all sophistry" is mysql bug fixer.
