I can quite reliably crash MySQL by running 'nmap' against the server running it, but only as a non-root user. If I run nmap as root, all's well. I think the difference lies in how nmap scans ports when run as root vs. non-root. Some strace output:

as root, it uses "sendto()":
sendto(3, "E\0\0,\260x\0\0(\6\211#\212H\204\320\212H\277\317\364v\21\327\261\"?\313\0\0\0\0"..., 44, 0, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(4567), sin_addr=inet_addr("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx")}, 16) = 44

as non-root, it uses "connect()":
connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(4567), sin_addr=inet_addr("xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx")}, 16) = -1 EINPROGRESS (Operation now in progress)

(I don't know that it's the connection to port 4567 that is the culprit; just used those lines from strace output as examples).

MySQL dies like so:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'boost::exception_detail::clone_impl<boost::exception_detail::error_info_injector<asio::system_error> >'

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=11
max_threads=2002
thread_count=9
connection_count=9
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 4389869 K bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

I saw this discussion of a very similar problem on the "Percona discussions" google group, but I'm sure an actual bug was ever submitted - a search on this site didn't find anything, but I apologize if this ends up being a duplicate.

Thanks!
