Category:	MySQL Server: Replication	Severity:	S1 (Critical)
Version:	5.0.46,5.1.23bk	OS:	Any (64 bit)

Description:
You can see the routines not handle the corruption well and crash on any x86_64
machine with greater than 4GB of RAM using the attached relay log:
mysqlbinlog relay-bin.000624 > /tmp/relay.out

How to repeat:
grab attached relay log file and run the following command on an x86_64 machine
with > 4GB of RAM:

mysqlbinlog relay-bin.000624 > /tmp/relay.out

Suggested fix:
We should handle this situation more gracefully.  Anytime we crash it is dangerous for myisam tables.

stack trace, debug info, etc.   mysqld crashes in same place (according to customer).
