Please use '--log-bin=mecgentoo-bin' to avoid this problem. 060719 15:18:54 InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 5847526 060719 15:18:54 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: ready for connections. Version: '5.0.22-debug-log' socket: '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' port: 3306 Gentoo Linux mysql-5.0.22 mysqld got signal 11; 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=16777216 read_buffer_size=258048 max_used_connections=1 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 = 92780 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation. thd=0x8d9a780 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=0xbe3fdc58, backtrace may not be correct. Stack range sanity check OK, backtrace follows: 0x8193524 0xb7de48fd (nil) 0x811d735 0x81d9556 0x81e18ef 0x81e5ffb 0x81e15ed 0x81aa47f 0x820e868 0x820cdd6 0x81a9a05 0x81a825d 0x81a7322 0xb7dde19b 0xb7c4e4ba 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.
