Unfortunately you'll need to provide details of how it "fell over"
(e.g. panic messages + backtraces).  You might have better luck with
6.0-RELEASE or 5.4-STABLE, since a number of bugs have been fixed in
5.4-RELEASE..but without more details it's impossible to say whether
that will help, or if you're encountering something genuinely new.

If I was your boss I'd be asking why mysql hasn't delivered on their
support contract.
