Jay, that's trivial to do - and I would have defaulted it to 1 actually, however in the current form this variable has a mysqld_safe process lifetime and means the total number of restarts during the whole life of the process. That is, at one point it becomes 0 and then on the next crash two months later it will not restart mysqld any more. This is not what people expect, so I hardcoded it to 0 for the time being, so that users don't come to rely on automatic restarts.

To solve this we must reset the counter after every successful cluster join, however I don't know how to achieve that yet, what would be a criterion of "successful cluster join".
