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. > > Can you reproduce this bug on another platform (not i386)? > 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. regards, Markus -- Markus Hoenicka [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Spam-protected email: replace the quadrupeds with "mhoenicka") http://www.mhoenicka.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
