Description:
A real log file (ip/names changed for obvious reasons) but the timestamps are correct shows:
130809 6:19:35 [Warning] IP address '10.xxx.xx.xx' could not be resolved: Name or service not known
130809 9:08:50 [Note] Hostname 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' does not resolve to '10.xxx.xxx.xxx'.
130809 9:08:50 [Note] Hostname 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' has the following IP addresses:
130809 9:08:50 [Note] - 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
130809 10:21:29 [Warning] IP address '10.xx.xx.xxx' could not be resolved: Name or service not known
130809 10:30:52 [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Sort aborted: Server shutdown in progress
130809 10:36:27 [Warning] IP address '10.xxx.xx.xxx' could not be resolved: Name or service not known
130809 10:47:43 [Warning] IP address '10.xxx.xx.xx' could not be resolved: Name or service not known
130809 11:16:17 [Warning] IP address '10.xxx.xx.xx' could not be resolved: Name or service not known
Notice the 'Server shutdown in progress' message. Given the logging and this entry below it's clearly lying.
mysql> show global status like 'uptime';

1 row in set (0.00 sec)
An error message like this is rather alarming and should be corrected if it hasn't been already.
How to repeat:
not entirely sure.
Suggested fix:
If the sort is aborted that's fine, say so. Do not generate an error which indicates a problem with the server and the fact it's supposedly shutting down if it hasn't.
