Hi!
It would be extremely useful if you can send me the output from
pstack when this happens again! This will give us a back trace for each
thread so we can find out what it's doing!
Another option is to run mysqld under gdb 2.8 and when this happens
again provide a back trace for each tread!
Regards,
Monty
