I did not setup anything in the /boot/loader.conf so i guess i'm using
default values for all of those settings,

Yes, configuration need fixing especially about InnoDB that is not
configured/tuned at all.
The one that take my attention more then others options is:

set-variable    = innodb_buffer_pool_size=512M

I'm sure i need to increase that value, i'm using the default that surely is
not giving me the expected resaults ... but i wonder if that can lead to
such a crash and not just a performance problem as i read on some sources on
internet about mysql optimization.

We are thinking about an OS Upgrade but what i would really like is to
understand what in mysql is triggering this crash before upgrading to new
OS/Mysql and maybe mask the problem for long time.

thanks for your help.
