What is happening is not a freeze.

If the server has nothing to log, you will see nothing appear in the 
screen. The reason you do not get a prompt back after issuing a mysqld 
--console command is precisely because the server *is still running*. 
The prompt won't reappear until after you stop the server.

Start a second command prompt and issue the following command to start 
an interactive mysql session using the Command Line Interface (the MySQL 
CLI)

shell>mysql -u root

To end your session, type

mysql> exit

and you will be back at the command line prompt. To get your server to 
stop (and restore interactive access to your first screen) you should 
issue the following command:

shell> mysqladmin -u root shutdown

To learn more about the utilities "mysql" and "mysqladmin" please read 
the following sections in the manual

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/mysqladmin.html

and for a walkthough tutorial, please refer to chapter 3
