The bug :

port=3306
default-character-set=latin1

I very much think this bug is a duplicate of bug #23822. Unfortunately, we still have not found a way to reproduce this strange problem on our machines. Julien, if you have info how to reproduce this reliably I would be all ears.

-> Administrator 
-> Startup variables
