There are 2x256 MB and 2x128MB sticks in there, all at a spped of 133. Please don't ask me what kind of motherboard we're running in there, but that shouldn't be a problem. Updatedb is running around midnight, but I just found out that cron.hourly could be a problem in there as we experienced another crash tonight which was at 1:59, the crash yesterday occured at 4:59. Always around the full hour. I've tried and disabled cron.hourly for now, hoping it will help. Seems like it wasn't a problem of mysql, it was just mysql which was killed and thus appeared in the kerne ltrace or something. > Seems your machine might have a wrong hardware component somewhere.

We sure will, but the system is located about 500 kilometers from where our bureau is, so I hope it will stay alive at least over the weekend :-) > mysqld can't run as the only service.
