Description:
When trying to create a new database with the name of an existing db the server crashes with "#2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server during query".

Normally, the message should be "#1007 - Can't create database 'xyz'; database exists"

How to repeat:
Try to create a new database with a name already used by another db.

I was unable to repeat with current source server, however your version
is very older, could you please do an update and verify if the issue
continues. Thank you.
