MySqlDump Error 2013, what is it?

[jeff perreault]

I am backing up a database using MySQLDump and am having troubles.

The database is a wikidatabase, not huge and is a mixture of InnoDB and MyIsam tables. The table in 'text' is 40,000 records and is InnoDB.

$ mysqldump -q -e wikidatabase >> backup.sql
$ mysqldump: Error 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when dumping table `text` at row: 4584

I have tried using the --quick option and I get the same error.

I have tried exporting other tables, and they work. When I try to export the 'text' table on it's own, I get the same error.

$ mysqldump -q -e wikidatabase text >> backup.sql
$ mysqldump: Error 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query when dumping table `text` at row: 4584

What does this error mean?
Do I have a corrupt table? A corrupt row? I'm thinking about deleting the row in question (of course I can't create a backup)
