Yes... OS X 10.4 with a 32 but MySQL binary is stable... it is the
combination of 64 bit OS (Tiger), and the 64 bit MySQL binary, and
accessing more than 2Gbytes of memory within the mysqld process that
blows up the machine. You can also run the 64 bit binary but keep the
memory allocation below 2Gbytes (but thats pretty pointless).
64 bit is important if you have large data sets, the more you can
keep in memory instead of relying on disk access, the better things
run... if your regularly accessed data isn't so large, no issue
anyway... if you don't have more than 2Gbytes of memory to get at,
also no problem.
And of course until it is worked out, stay within the limis of 32 bit
and you don't have a problem :-)

Yeah, 64 bit isn't working... we can set the memory partition for
InnoDB to some big number, like say 10G or more (on the 16G Xserves),
and it will launch, so it has 64 bit OS and 64 bit MySQL Binaries...
We get past the first hurdle, but in practise it just doesn't run...
It works fine until InnoDB gets to more than 2GByte of memory it's
actually truing to use (as opposed to reserving when it launches),
and then the server locks up (OS level.. not a mysqld crash) After 5
minutes the watchdog timer kicks in and reboots the machine.
So I don't know if it's an Apple issue or a MySQL issue... the 64 bit
MySQL binary does it, the 64 bit binary I made with mySQL source does
it, 10.4.0 does it, 10.4.1 does it, 10.4.2 does it... etc...
I'm sure it's something we will get resolved, just for now we can't
run 64 bit. So we'll keep working with both our Apple and MySQL
contacts to get each of them trying to find the problem... but (being
the open minded people we are) we'll also take a look at Yellow Dog
and see what's involved in getting Linux up and making a 64 bit MySQL
Binary to run under Yellow Dog.
Sorry if this is boneheaded here, but are there non g4 bit variants
you can
run on a G5 if you just want the stability until this is worked out?
