I've posted this problem before, but thought I had somehow addressed
it. Today however the problem returned. In a nutshell:
MySQL (version 5.0.45, on OS X 10.4.11, Xserve dual G5 2GHz) will
after either a day or three weeks of uptime, suddenly usage way more
CPU that it should. That is to say, mysqld shows in Activity Monitor
90% CPU usage when normally it sits around 30-40%. Slow query log file
doesn't show anything unusual. Now here's the really strange part: If
I shutdown all processes/services that use MySQL (and I can see
nothing making a connection to the database), the CPU still stays
high. Yet nothing is going on. It will stay like this for hours. The
only way to "fix" the problem is to shutdown mysqld and restart.
However, shutting it down takes a long time--15-20 minutes perhaps.
Here's what MySQL Administrator returns after I click Shutdown:
---

And then it shuts down. Bizarre, non?
Any ideas?
