I have a 486 DX2/66 (no cpuid instruction), which also get and illegal instruction whenever anything tries to use the mysql libraries. In my case I saw it when trying to start proftpd after upgrading from sarge to etch. If I comment out the mysql modules in the proftpd config, the problem goes away so it certainly matches with a mysql problem on this cpu type.
So with current etch packages, mysql is still broken (version 5.0.32-7etch1). I have not tried the 5.0.36 packages from sid yet to see if that solves it. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
