Public bug reported:

After updating to 12.04 beta1, mysql service was broken.

I noticed my fan turn on a while after running sudo service mysql status
(never completed).

:; sudo strace -f -p 1
Process 1 attached - interrupt to quit
pipe([1022, 1023])                      = 0
open("/dev/ptmx", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY)      = -1 EMFILE (Too many open files)
close(1022)                             = 0
close(1023)                             = 0
pipe([1022, 1023])                      = 0
open("/dev/ptmx", O_RDWR|O_NOCTTY)      = -1 EMFILE (Too many open files)
close(1022)                             = 0
close(1023)                             = 0
pipe([1022, 1023])                      = 0
.
.
.
^C

:; sudo ls -lv /proc/1/fd | grep -c /var/log/upstart/mysql.log
1005

I guess this is probably the same as #940290
