Description:
Mysql server crashes randomly. Have checked for other threads with similar problems, but for other threads, the common denominator seems to be myisam_use_mmap=1, which is not in my /etc/my.cnf file. The restart does require the databases to be repaired, and it's a painful process due to the large tables. I thought the upgrade to 5.1.58 would help, but it still randomly occurs.

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=10066329600
read_buffer_size=1048576
max_used_connections=443
max_threads=1024
threads_connected=87
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 12986712 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

How to repeat:
Not sure how to repeat as it occurs at random, at no specific time.

Suggested fix:
Unsure.

Should never use myisam_use_mmap=1 at least until bug #48726 is fixed.
However, this particular crash happens in query cache code. i'd expect the following may workaround it:

query_cache_type=0
query_cache_size=0
myisam_use_mmap=0
[26 Jul 2011 23:48] Kenneth C
does the myisam_use_mmap=0 have to be in the my.cnf? I ask this because it's not listed in the my.cnf file at all, so I'm assuming it's not enabled by default?
[6 Aug 2011 12:49] Sveta Smirnova
Thank you for the feedback.

Default value of myisam_use_mmap is 0, but mysqld reads few configuration files, so you can easily miss one. Please run query SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'myisam_use_mmap' to know which real value is used. If it is 1 adjust my.cnf correspondingly.
[9 Aug 2011 3:48] Kenneth C
Hi!

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'myisam_use_mmap' returns 0, so that means it is not enabled.
[25 Mar 2012 13:24] Valeriy Kravchuk
Do you still have this crashing problem with recent server versions (5.1.62 is the latest in 5.1 branch), even after disabling query cache as suggested by Shane?
