Crash!!!

[Squirrel]

My webserver was working just fine on FreeBSD 6.2 Apache 2.2.11, MySQL 5.0.27.  All of sudden MySQL quit and won't start.  At the same time when logged in using SSH, it's looking for .bash_login and .bash_logout which it never did before, and will not chroot to user's home.

Trying to manual start mysql causes:

090318 17:09:52  mysqld started
090318 17:09:52  InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 2 2195718579

090318 17:09:52  mysqld ended

I tried db_recover, but it's not found.  HELP!!!
