I'm running Mariadb 10.0.11 on linux/64. Connected to my DB, executing similar queries, one succeeds, the next fails @ error "ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query" There's a backtrace included below. I'm not sure what it tells me about the problem, or what to do about. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Here are the queries MariaDB [dTEST]> UPDATE system SET status='0' WHERE name='tagclouds'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0 MariaDB [dTEST]> UPDATE system SET status='0' WHERE name='tagclouds'; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) Rows matched: 1 Changed: 0 Warnings: 0 MariaDB [dTEST]> UPDATE system SET status='0' WHERE name='system_charts'; ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query MariaDB [dTEST]> UPDATE system SET status='0' WHERE name='system_charts'; ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away No connection.

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. To report this bug, see http://kb.askmonty.org/en/reporting-bugs 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.
