"about a month ago ... I upgraded to v5.6."

That suggests you're gonna' be going for one of them thar infernal combustion wagons purty soon. T'aint nuttin wrong with horses, so why bother?

Suggestion (tho I hate to suggest going thru the 'pain' -- if that's the way you see it -- of upgrading again): why not upgrade to something that's still semi-current, like 5.16 or to an ever newer version, 5.18 and take advantage of the new capabilities added since 5.6.

Clearly, you haven't let your MySQL get nearly as far outdated.
