What you just did is a lot like playing a sound over the telphone and asking a painter what's wrong with your plumbing. This may not even be a MySQL problem. Unless we know where those entries are (which log) and where they come from(which app is making them), we can have no clue what they mean. Next time, please provide us with more context to your question, OK? We need to know what OS you are using, what version of MySQL you are using, and many details about what exactly you were doing that created the problem you are trying to get us to help you with. If you can describe the problem even more, please do.
