Perhaps the tmp directory used by MySQL was full.

Occasionally, MySQL seems to lock up on the Linux box and just sit there. It

It's sad that your MySQL crashes. But still, it's even more sad that there
exist human beings that rely on system administrators not being able to kill
a process under linux ;) (don't take that too hard, just kidding)
ps aux | grep mysqld
get the PID of the process
kill -9 PID
Make sure you
