Hello.
If the value of Read_Master_Log_Pos has a normal value, and slave asked weird position, this could be some internal bug. Now I see only a single way, but it could be difficult: if you have --log-slave-updates, use slave binary logs to find the last executed statement and it's position in master logs, and CHANGE MASTER to that position.
