Second follow-up: mythfilldatabase crashed on the first run after the
InnoDB conversion. The stack trace was identical, so this strongly
suggests the problem is not related to the specific DB engine but is a
more generic problem. This rather looks like a use-after-free problem
or a thread timing issue.
Other suggestions are welcome, as otherwise a mysql is downgrade is
probably in my near future.
