"ERROR 1030: Got error 127 from table handler"

[Dathan Vance Pattishall]

 
/usr/local/mysql/bin/perror 127
Error code 127:  Unknown error 127
127 = Record-file is crashed
 
I've been getting this allot lately from mysql-3.23.54-57.
 
 
Things that are not the cause:
 - mySQL has not been improperly shut down
 - threads are not being killed off
 
 
Pattern emerged:
High Traffic DB up for a month or greater doing a constant 300
queries/sec
 
 
Question: What is the cause of a Record-file crash? How can this be
prevented? Jeremy Zawodny do you have any thoughts on a root cause?
