Don't see any cores... here is the error log entry mysqld got signal 10; 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. key_buffer_size=201322496 read_buffer_size=8192 sort_buffer_size=33554424 max_used_connections=11 max_connections=100 threads_connected=12 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 3474203 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation. 020909 11:30:54 mysqld restarted 020909 11:30:55 InnoDB: Out of memory in additional memory pool.
