G'day, I have an ubuntu hoary install. I have just used apt-get to install mysql-server. (Which I have done countless times with no problems)
However this time I get: Dec 11 04:12:36 ns3 mysqld_safe[3846]: started Dec 11 04:12:36 ns3 mysqld[3853]: mysqld got signal 11; Dec 11 04:12:36 ns3 mysqld[3853]: This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary Dec 11 04:12:36 ns3 mysqld[3853]: or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, Dec 11 04:12:36 ns3 mysqld[3853]: or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. Dec 11 04:12:36 ns3 mysqld[3853]: We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose Dec 11 04:12:36 ns3 mysqld[3853]: the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong Dec 11 04:12:36 ns3 mysqld[3853]: and this may fail.
