I’m using Mysql (version : 5.0.24) which is accessed by web application developed by ASP.NET 2.0 .The version of the .net connector i’m using is 5.0.7.0 .Now the problem is the DB service is crashing unexpectedly i.e. the DB service is stopped & to be started manually. This to happening in irregular intervals. Some times it’s happening for every 3 days & in sometimes its happening for every 7 days.
The log entry in the error log is given below.

In one of the mysql forums somebody posted that if the log files has “-” in its name, that may lead to crash. I’ve ensued that log files doest have “-” in its name. Still the problem exists. What might be the possible reasons for crashing DB like this?
