I am having problems with MySQL 4.0.12 on RedHat Advanced Server 2.1
using a dual Xeon with 8 GByte of RAM.
I have a database collecting logs. Each day, a new table is created. In
order to allow for queries across more than one day, I use 'MERGE'
tables. Each individual table contains 10-30 Million rows. The merge
table covers 30 days (one month).
At the start of a new day, the merge table is rebuild using an 'alter
table' statement. However, this statement is sometimes locked for quite
a while, if queries against the table are pending. In this case,
the context switch rate of the server 'explodes' to 100,000 and higher.
The server becomes essentially unresponsive.
Usually, I can 'fix' things by killing some queries that lock the 'alter
table' querie. However, this causes the server to crash in some cases
(not well reproducable).
Error message from log:

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.
