Not a bad idea to kill all mysql processes - check "ps -waux | grep mysql" - and then restart.

I've also had to restart directadmin service to correct errors like this ... and then in some severe cases restart the whole server.

I found that the mysqld errors are usually on an older operating system (in my case I had Debian 3.1 - upgraded to Debian 5 and the problems went away).

I've also read on here people have problems with MYSQL if they performed an upgrade (Debian: apt-get dist-upgrade).

Check the forum search - I found quite a few posts on this:
