resetxlog won't help: you've got corrupt data in that table. See the
archives for previous threads about finding and removing corrupt rows.

I concur with the nearby suggestion that you should be running something
newer than 7.4.6, but even with an update you'll still be needing to
clean up this corruption manually :-(
