I am able to reproduce the issue as described.

As soon as I execute CREATE TABLE LIKE statement it crashes the server and restarts mysqld_safe.

mysql [localhost] {root} (test) > create table paypal_ooops like paypal_ipns;
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed,
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.
Please help us make Percona Server better by reporting any
bugs at http://bugs.percona.com/

key_buffer_size=8388608
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=1
max_threads=153
thread_count=1
connection_count=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 343008 K  bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.
