We (apparently) had poorly executed of our Solaris MySQL database engine last night. At least some of the InnoDB tables are corrupted, with timestamp out of order errors in the transaction log, and a specific error about the index being corrupted.

We know about the tools available for MyISAM table repairs, but cannot find anything for InnoDB.

Side note: attempting a table optimize (in my attempt to rebuild the corrupted index) causes the database server to crash.
