Client requested master to start replication from impossible position

[Fagyal Csongor]

Hi list,
This night my slave stopped replicating the master (I am using 4.1.11 to 
replicate 4.1.9). Whenever I say "start slave", The error log of the 
slave says:

050430 10:27:12 [Note] Slave I/O thread: connected to master 
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]:3306',  replication started in log 
'www-bin.000003' at position 429178917
050430 10:27:12 [ERROR] Error reading packet from server: Client 
requested master to start replication from impossible position 
(server_errno=1236)
050430 10:27:12 [ERROR] Got fatal error 1236: 'Client requested master 
to start replication from impossible position' from master when reading 
data from binary log
050430 10:27:12 [ERROR] Slave I/O thread exiting, read up to log 
'www-bin.000003', position 429178917

The interesting thing is that for the master:
-rw-rw----   1 mysql  mysql  1073741913 Apr 26 21:52 www-bin.000001
-rw-rw----   1 mysql  mysql  1073742497 Apr 29 01:37 www-bin.000002
-rw-rw----   1 mysql  mysql   429153165 Apr 29 20:20 www-bin.000003
-rw-rw----   1 mysql  mysql   169507064 Apr 30 11:01 www-bin.000004
Looks like the master really has no "position 429178917" as the length 
of www-bin.000003 is smaller, 429153165 (if I understand this correctly).

Is there a way to restart replication other than copying everything from 
the slave to the master again??

Thanks,
- Csongor
