Well, I don't know. However, it looks like the entire host lost MySQL. It was down for several hours, and nothing was lost.

Even more bizarre to me than the site going down is the fact that it manages to bring itself back up again afterwards. Does it just "undelete" the database or something?

My best guess is that the MySQL daemon dies and eventually the host restarts it.
