Description:
Error log:
081030 11:55:00 - mysqld got signal 11 ;
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=536870912
read_buffer_size=4194304
max_used_connections=47
max_threads=300
threads_connected=35
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 2984927 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...

bug #28323 is marked as private, is there any information on this bug I could use to avoid this issue until a patch is released?

Would downgrading to 5.1.26 solve it temporarily?
