Description:
In this case.
I have a master server with 4.0.20a-pro-nt version. 
There are two slaves pointed to that master, both with 5.0.20a-pro.
Suddenly, one database user dissapeard, i looked at .err and saw a crash.
The server are working fine, but the user wich I was connected to the server are gone. (I have an application which show me the replication status of many servers). 
It's not the first time that it happens.

Here is the .err

060518 16:52:51 [ERROR] Slave I/O thread: error reconnecting to master 'USER@HOST:3306': Error: ''  errno: 0  retry-time: 10  retries: 86400

This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=2097152
read_buffer_size=1044480
max_used_connections=1
max_connections=100
threads_connected=0
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 308847 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...
Cannot determine thread, fp=0xb327dacc, backtrace may not be correct.
Stack range sanity check OK, backtrace follows:

New value of fp=(nil) failed sanity check, terminating stack trace!
Please read http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Using_stack_trace.html and follow instructions on how to resolve the stack trace. Resolved
stack trace is much more helpful in diagnosing the problem, so please do 
resolve it
Trying to get some variables.
Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort...

The manual page at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Crashing.html contains
information that should help you find out what is causing the crash.

Thank you for the bug report. Could you please open this bug report
when you are able to provide a repeatable test case?

Thanks in advance.

We had a similar error a few days ago. Server went down roughly, being fenced out in a fail-over situation (ie no graceful shutdown of mysqld). When mysqld started up again, one user was gone. We did a check of all tables, without any reported errors.

As mysqld died instantly, of course, we have no error logs, nor any way to reproduce this :-(

This is Debian Etch

# /usr/sbin/mysqld --version
Ver 5.0.32-Debian_7etch8-log for pc-linux-gnu on x86_64 (Debian etch distribution)
