When starting mysqld, I got the err message (in file) ____________________________________ 051005 05:26:47 mysqld started 051005 5:26:47 InnoDB: Database was not shut down normally.

InnoDB: Send a detailed bug report to mysql@lists.mysql.com 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.
