Some additional details. I can usually perform at least one ADD COLUMN successfully before I start getting this error. I also seem to be able to create databases and tables without a problem. This leads me to believe that th permissions are set properly. Once I get the error, I can't perform any more ALTER TABLE commands, but I am still able to search the database without any problems. CHECK TABLE reports that the table is OK until I perform a REPAIR TABLE command, after that CHECK TABLE reports that the last REPAIR TABLE failed. Restarting the MySQL service seems to correct whatever is wrong with the table and I am then able to do ADD COLUMN again (usually one successful call, then errors on subsequent calls).
