/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld: File '*** glibc detected *** malloc():memory corruption: 0x00002aac2d5ab460 ***' not found (Errcode: 2) 120306 17:19:47 [ERROR] Failed to open log (file '*** glibc detected *** malloc():memory corruption: 0x00002aac2d5ab460 ***', errno 2) 120306 17:19:47 [ERROR] Could not open log file 120306 17:19:47 [ERROR] Can't init tc log 120306 17:19:47 [ERROR] Aborting
