Bug Description

Three separate servers (one 13.10, one 12.04.3, one 12.04.4) all auto-upgraded to mysql-server-5.5.37 from 5.5.35 and subsequently failed their nightly MySQL backup due to the mysql.help_topic table being crashed at row 497:

2014-04-25 01:37:03,845 [ERROR] /usr/bin/mysqldump[18787]: mysqldump: Error 1194: Table 'help_topic' is marked as crashed and should be repaired when dumping table `help_topic` at row: 497

Running 'mysqlcheck -r mysql help_topic' corrects the issue even though the output reports as 'OK'.

Anonymized logs from each server attached.

Is anyone able to reproduce this?

I've tried on precise amd64, precise i386 and saucy amd64, and am unable to reproduce the issue.

Marking Incomplete, as I can't find any other reports of this issue and nobody is able to reproduce it. Could this issue be due to a latent local problem that triggered a failure only on update?
