Unfortunately I can't reproduce it. It happened only once, probably 
during database shutdown (if the log output is properly ordered). The 
full (from start to end) log context is:
060430 03:04:29  Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/mysql
060430 03:04:29  mysqld started
060130  3:04:29 [Note] /usr/pkg/libexec/mysqld: ready for connections.
Version: '5.0.18'  socket: '/var/run/mysql/mysql.sock'  port: 3306 
Source distribution
060130  3:04:43 [Note] /usr/pkg/libexec/mysqld: Normal shutdown

060130  3:04:44 [Note] /usr/pkg/libexec/mysqld: Shutdown complete

mysqld: Error detected by libpthread: Invalid mutex.
Detected by file 
"/home/builds/ab/netbsd-3-0-RELEASE/src/lib/libpthread/pthread_mutex.c", 
line 334, function "pthread_mutex_unlock".
See pthread(3) for information.
060430 03:04:44  STOPPING server from pid file /var/mysql/server.pid
060430 03:04:44  mysqld ended

This was without the innodb engine, otherwise the creation of the innodb 
files is in the log too. And with the innodb engine and files in the 
mysql data directory it doesn't start at all, as I already wrote. I'll 
keep trying to find out what's wrong with the innodb engine.
