The Percona server 5.5 crashes on Dell server R510 with this information:
Version: '5.5.25a-27.1-log' socket: '/data/mysql/mysql.sock' port: 3306 Percona Server (GPL), Release rel27.1, Revision 277
02:37:31 UTC - mysqld got signal 8 ;
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=33554432
read_buffer_size=2097152
max_used_connections=4
max_threads=900
thread_count=3
connection_count=3
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 3730200 K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...

Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort.

Reducing max_connections from 900 to 500 didn't help: same error appeared (see the attached log)
Added the my.cnf
