How to delete a bad trigger
On Mysql Version 5.0.77, I ran this 

    CREATE TRIGGER ins_trap_to_memory AFTER INSERT on Table1
    FOR EACH ROW 
    INSERT INTO Table1_Copy SELECT NEW.*;

It ran, but now the database is disconnecting whenever I try to do certain things:

Can't view triggers-

    mysql> SHOW TRIGGERS LIKE '%'\G
    ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away
    No connection. Trying to reconnect...
    Connection id:    7
    Current database: mydb

    ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Can't drop the problem trigger-

    mysql> DROP TRIGGER ins_trap_to_memory;
    ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 3

Can't query information_schema.TRIGGERS-

    mysql> select * from information_schema.TRIGGERS;
    ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away
    No connection. Trying to reconnect...
    Connection id:    12
    Current database: information_schema

    ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query
