060810 12:39:52 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '5.0.21-standard-log' socket: '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' port: 3306 MySQL Community Edition - Standard (GPL) mysqld got signal 6; 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=3 max_connections=100 threads_connected=1 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 225791 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation. thd=0x8a9d600 Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went terribly wrong... Cannot determine thread, fp=0x1f0bec, backtrace may not be correct. Stack range sanity check OK, backtrace follows: 0x815c838 0xc5d888 (nil) 0xb564ea 0xb5cc6f 0xb5cfea 0x814ea29 0x8152d66 0x815c578 0x817a9f3 0xc57371 0xbc29be New value of fp=(nil) failed sanity check, terminating stack trace! Please read http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Using_stack_trace.html and follow instructions on how to resolve the stack trace. Resolved stack trace is much more helpful in diagnosing the problem, so please do resolve it Trying to get some variables. Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort... thd->query at (nil) is invalid pointer thd->thread_id=2 The manual page at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Crashing.html contains information that should help you find out what is causing the crash. 060810 13:24:34 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Normal shutdown
