Description:
The windows function 'MessageBox' is used in several places of the MySQL server code to pop up messages when some kind of error occurs.

How to repeat:
Manual code inspection.

Suggested fix:
Remove the MessageBox and write the error message to the logs or stderr instead.

   - Send error messages to log file insteasd of popping up a message
   - Rework signal handler code to either shutdown using the shutdown
     thread or call 'handle_segfault' to print out crash info and then
     crash the mysqld.
