###End of log
I've never ever killed any daemons before I restart, cause "reboot" 
would
shut them all down nicely for me.

I got a hint from #dragonflybsd on EFNet that this could be a mtime 
problem,
but I'm no coder so I have no idea where to start.


Well, if you ran with --log, take a look at the details of what thread 
0 did
to cause the crash. In most cases its just bad corruption in the 
database files.
Though its very very unlikely that just killing mysqld would cause this 
to happen.
You should take a look at http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Crashing.html to 
help
you figure out what the problem is.
