Well I *think* a suitable way to screw up things is to change the definition of
structures. I didn't check if anything like this has happened between
libmysqlclient12 and libmysqlclient14, but if the package is built with this
struct in libmysqlclient12-dev:
struct STRUCT {
int a;
int b;
};
whereas libmysqlclient14 assumes this structure to read:
struct STRUCT {
int a;
long long z;
int b;
};
then it shouldn't be too hard to achieve weird behaviour.

Wish I had another platform! I can only report that things work smoothly on
other operating systems (FreeBSD4.7, FreeBSD5.3, Windows/Cygwin, Solaris, to
name a few) both with the released version that the Debian packages are based
upon as well as with the current CVS version.
