Hi Everyone.

Here's a VERY unusualy problem.

We are running a mod_perl application with MySQL. One of the functions
in the program performs a "SHOW TABLE" command. This is performed with
apparently great regularity within the program.

It has begun locking a process up, at 100% CPU (All held by system).
When this occurs the process will respond to nothing. I try kill -9, I
try the kill command via mysqladmin or mtop. Nothing works. We are
forced to reboot. This is on a 4 processor Xeon Dell server, and when it
reaches three locked up processes (Currently taking less than 4
hours!!!) We have to reboot.

Does anyone have any suggestions for repair or workaround (Killing off
these processes somehow?)

LMK
