Description:
mysqld crashes on sighup, because mysql_print_status(thd) doesn't take into account that THD may be NULL.

furthermore, on 'mysqladmin debug' (when thd is not NULL) pronted values are meaningless

How to repeat:
killall -HUP mysqld

Suggested fix:
fix mysql_print_status(thd) to print *global* values - as it did in 4.1
