MySQL quitting, restarts only after hard reboot

[Bill Leonard]

This one is still biting us.. any suggestions on where to troubleshoot would be appreciated.

Mac OS X Server, 10.2.1 - MySQL 3.23.51

Heavy usage, but no more than 50 open connections at a time

Occasionally, MySQL just quits serving databases. The first indication is a forum or something comes up with a "could not connect to database" message.

Logging in to MySQL via the command line works, but a show databases command shows an empty set.

The error log in /var/mysql doesn't show anything helpful, only the last time it was started.

Re-starting mysqld from the command line doesn't work.

Only rebooting the machine seems to work, but clearly, there must be something I don't understand.

What could be going on that it exhibits this behavior? Any ideas?

Thanks much...

Bill
