Description:
Mysql was crashing on the server periodically and upon investigation it was found that the server was crashed while it was working with a Database.

System memory didn't seem to get full at the time of crashing though.

I was then able to reproduce the issue by just running 'use db1';

CentOS 5
glibc version 2.5-58

How to repeat:
run 'use db1';

Thank you for the report.

How many tables do you have in database db1? Is it possible to send us in hidden comment this database directory compressed?

Attached mysql db file you have requested.

Thank you for the datadir.

Verified as described.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out

As workaround I recommend you to run myisamchk with repair option on tables in this database one-by-one, then test.

Cause seems to be phplist_bounce, phplist_bounceregex and phplist_config tables:

myisamchk: error: 'phplist_bounce.MYI' is not a MyISAM-table
- recovering (with keycache) MyISAM-table 'phplist_bounceregex_bounce.MYI'
Data records: 0
myisamchk: error: 'phplist_bounceregex.MYI' is not a MyISAM-table
myisamchk: error: 'phplist_config.MYI' is not a MyISAM-table
