Description:
Our MySQL install, which has been stable for months, suddenly started crashing repeatedly (as in, dozens of times per minute). The stack always ends somewhere in the InnoDB plugin.

* There is only one database on this server
* Its data files total 31GB and it is configured for file-per-table
* I tried to do a mysqldump in order to get a backup to rebuild the DB from, but mysql crashes before it can be completed
* I have HugeTLB configured in Linux and large-pages enabled in my.cnf
* I am running the AMD64 Red Hat RPM's and the 64-bit version of CentOS

I will attach the stack and my.cnf to the bug report.

How to repeat:
Nearly any query will result in the crash, but running CHECK TABLE in particular has been 100% reproducible for me.

Can you send us the output of
SHOW CREATE TABLE `zabbix`.`hosts`;

Also the complete error log, from the beginning of time?
