mysqld got signal 10; This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail. key_buffer_size=8388600 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=76 max_connections=75 threads_connected=27 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 171391 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation. 060729 15:29:51 mysqld restarted 060729 15:29:51 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally!
