Morning all,

I've got a really strange situation here this morning much like a reportedly fixed MySQL bug.

http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=28421

My relay bin logs are rapidly filling with an infinite loop of junk made of this sort of thing.

These log files grow to 1Gb within about a minute before rotating and starting again.

These big files are interspersed with 1 or 2 smaller files with just this in

/*!50003 SET @OLD_COMPLETION_TYPE=@@COMPLETION_TYPE,COMPLETION_TYPE=0*/;

We're running a master-master replication setup with the problematic server running mysql 5.1.61. The other server which is, for the moment, stable is running 5.1.58.

Has anyone got any ideas what the solution is to this and moreover, what might have caused this?
