Here is my final analysis of this problem. May it be correct or not, mysql 
is no longer panicing the child process..

libgcc was either corrupt or incompatible. It was the original version so 
I lean towards corrupt. Whatever corrupted it, I have no idea what, mysql 
was PISSED off about it. Whatever call Mysql was making for pthreads and 
such wasnt hitting the stack pointer right and totally taking a dump. 

The parent process saw this and restarted the child. this of course pissed 
off apache and whatever other thread was pointing to that socket/pid for mysql 
access. Thus all the "mysql not responding" and such from applications.

I'll have to trace back several upgrades before I can pinpoint the exact 
upgrade that caused the failure.

Thanks for everyone's input!
