Really great news! I don't know why the Slackware packagers keep
distributing this version. I had a check just now, and the current

this. May I quote you Paul?
No sure where you want to quote me, but the MariaDB bugreport I refered
to was really very solid, easy to reproduce, and fixed promptly. No
discussion there.
Maybe nobody filed a bug against their package yet. I guess not many
people use mysql/mariadb to retrieve blobs in a ordered fashion. For
anyone who actually does, the bug is critical.
I've compiled and installed MariaDB 5.5.34. Now everything is purring
like a satisfied cat :-)
The Slackware community is seriously conservative, and some hard facts
are needed to convince them to update. Otherwise I'm afraid that this
unfortunate MariaDB version will continue to be included, until there
will be a new major release (probably at least a year away).
Thanks for your great work Paul!
Peter
