Nov 15 21:20:57 ubuntu-dell mysqld[3543]: This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
Nov 15 21:20:57 ubuntu-dell mysqld[3543]: or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
Nov 15 21:20:57 ubuntu-dell mysqld[3543]: or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
Nov 15 21:20:57 ubuntu-dell mysqld[3543]: We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
Nov 15 21:20:57 ubuntu-dell mysqld[3543]: the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
Nov 15 21:20:57 ubuntu-dell mysqld[3543]: and this may fail.
