Oct 10 15:04:09 ngvm1725 mysqld_safe: Number of processes running now: 0 Oct 10 15:04:09 ngvm1725 mysqld_safe: mysqld restarted This happens frequently during replication, the replication picks up where it left off thought. Right now I am running mysqld under gdb so that I could catch the segmentation fault, and that's why it's not restarting this time, it's still running in the debugger and I am currently dumping a core file.
