Description:
2 mysqlds starting up simultaneously like in mysql-test-run

they will create cluster/schema table simultaneously

a race happens for the create table - create event sequence

the mysql server that "discovers" finds that no event has been created, and will attempt to create one, inbetween the first mysqld comes in and creates the event, create event code from second mysqld will attempt to recoved by (wrongly) deleting the event, and recreating it

How to repeat:
see above
