[Bug 1312513] [NEW] MySQL Server 5.5.35 to 5.5.37 upgrade crashing mysql.help_topic

[Derek Morton]

Public bug reported:

Three separate servers (one 13.10, one 12.04.3, one 12.04.4) all auto-
upgraded to mysql-server-5.5.37 from 5.5.35 and subsequently failed
their nightly MySQL backup due to the mysql.help_topic table being
crashed at row 497:

2014-04-25 01:37:03,845 [ERROR] /usr/bin/mysqldump[18787]: mysqldump:
Error 1194: Table 'help_topic' is marked as crashed and should be
repaired when dumping table `help_topic` at row: 497

Running 'mysqlcheck -r mysql help_topic' corrects the issue even though
the output reports as 'OK'.

Anonymized logs from each server attached.
