OK, I can now: I have a table -

MAC_connections:        Data records:    6689
+----------+------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| Field    | Type             | Null | Key | Default | Extra |
+----------+------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+
| MAC      | char(12)         |      | PRI |         |       |
| deviceID | int(10) unsigned | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| ifIndex  | int(10) unsigned | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| nMACs    | int(10) unsigned | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
| mtime    | timestamp(14)    | YES  |     | NULL    |       |
+----------+------------------+------+-----+---------+-------+

SELECT * from MAC_connections
        or even
SELECT count(*) from MAC_connections

hangs! (it's been sitting there for the last 10 minutes and hasn't
produced anything!)

I guess it was working OK a few hours ago as I was working on a query
involving a LEFT JOIN to this table: suddently it stopped working and
(after hours of hair-tearing and head-banging :-) I eventually got right
back to simple queries like the one above and found where the problem was.

I can get data from other tables OK.

isamchk -e MAC_connections doesn't complain:

Checking ISAM file: MAC_connections
Data records:    6689   Deleted blocks:       0
- check file-size
- check delete-chain
- check index reference
- check records and index references

What's going on? Any ideas?
