Hi, It happened to me ...with Red Hat 7.2 and MySQL 3.23.47. Anyway if you want to see easily what's wrong you can do: Identify the PID of your process which make monitoring processes. In other task you can do : strace -d -p the_PID ...and let it open.
When MySQL crash strace tell you with what signal is out. If the signal is one of : SIGILL or SIGBUS you have a hardware problem for sure . Else .... So...which what signal die ?

Most of the time after a crash, the error logs show a line like "thd->query at 0x84aef98 = show processlist" (although some have "0x50e64580 is invalid pointer" and others "(nil) is invalid pointer"). We do have a process which regularly does a "show processlist" on this server. > I was running the debian packaged version of mysql (latest version in woody), but upgraded to mysql-max and ran myisamchk on all tables before starting the database to make sure that the problems were not benig caused by table corruption. I do not believe that we are using any functions that require mysql-max, so if installing the binary release of mysql is the next recommended step, I can do this. > > >How-To-Repeat: > I can not get this to happen on demand, but I was wondering if the above lines indicate that the "show processlist" command was causing the problem. > > >Fix: > Unknown > > >Submitter-Id: <submitter ID> > >Originator: root > >Organization: > > >MySQL support: none > >Synopsis: > >Severity: > >Priority: > >Category: mysql > >Class: > >Release: mysql-3.23.49 (Source distribution) > >Server: /usr/bin/mysqladmin Ver 8.23 Distrib 3.23.49, for pc-linux-gnu on i686 > Copyright (C) 2000 MySQL AB & MySQL Finland AB & TCX DataKonsult AB > This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
