With PXC56 release binary, I could reproduce it. With codership-5.6 UNIV_DEBUG binary I got mysqld: /media/Tintin/Work/code/codership/codership-5.6/sql/binlog.cc:1181: int binlog_cache_data::finalize(THD*, Log_event*): Assertion `!flags.finalized' failed. 09:09:18 UTC - mysqld got signal 6 ; 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. key_buffer_size=8388608 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=4 max_threads=151 thread_count=4 connection_count=4 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 68318 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation. Thread pointer: 0x2a392f0 Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out where mysqld died.
