Description:
Hi,

We encountered an error recently during replication where mysql kept restarting itself. We don't know how to reproduce the problem, however, we had taken a backup of the mysql data directory before we re-created the data dir. Whenever, we try to start mysql with the backed up data directory, we get the same error.

Setup & other background information:

There are two nodes A and B. A was setup as the master node which replicated data to B to begin with. Then A node failed for some reason and B took over. Now, B started replicating data to A. At some point of time, the replication process stopped. We do not have the logs to find out why that happened. Now, A had relatively old data and B had new and more data.

Because of another change in the setup, both the nodes (A & B) were re-started and A again became the master mysql node replicating to B. After this B started printing the error "Next record is nonsensical" in the slave.err. This problem couldn't be rectified by just restarting mysql. We went in for a fresh setup of mysql on node B.

Here is the error log from node B [I have not included the page dump as it seemed pretty big for the report. Please let me know if I can send it as an attachment to some id. Also, I have not resolved the stack, please let me know if it's required for this bug report.]

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=0
read_buffer_size=1044480
max_used_connections=0
max_connections=250
threads_connected=0
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 2302998 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

thd=(nil)
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=0x77570498, 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 trac
e. Resolved
stack trace is much more helpful in diagnosing the problem, so please do
resolve it
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.
070829 01:49:17  mysqld ended

How to repeat:
We do not know how it can be reproduced. We just seemed to have run into this situation by chance.

Thank you for a problem report. Please, specify the exact version, 5.0.x, you had used on slave. Are you sure that memory fault/corruption on disk is impossible?
[30 Aug 2007 7:31] Manas Garg
The setup on which the problem occurred was running mysql-pro-4.1.16. Later on, I took the data directory from there and tried running mysql-pro-5.1.17 against that data directory. The page dump that I have attached came from 5.1.17 version.
[30 Aug 2007 7:32] Manas Garg
Sorry, I meant to say version 5.0.17 in my previous comment.
[30 Aug 2007 10:41] Sveta Smirnova
Thank you for the feedback.

But version 5.0.17 is old and many bugs were fixed since. Please upgrade to current version 5.0.45, try with it and say us result.
