Hi all...

MySQL version 4.0.3-beta
Compaq Deskpro PIII 933MHz
256MB RAM, 92MB SWAP
Binary distribution

>uname -a
Linux homer 2.4.19 #2 Thu Aug 15 19:53:55 NZST 2002 i686 unknown

I don't have another test machine unfortunately, so I don't know if the
problem is specific to my machine/database or not.

I have included below what happened when I tried to add a new ENUM field to
a table, but this problem now occurs when I also try to add any type of
field to the table, or drop any field.

I have checked the archives, and have not found anything like this relating
to the 4.0.x versions.

One thing I did think of - how many versions of 4.0.3-beta-linux were
rolled?  I downloaded my copy from the site before the official announcement
was made - pretty much as soon as it was put up on the site.

mysql> SHOW CREATE TABLE users;

CREATE TABLE `users` (
`ID` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
`FullName` char(50) NOT NULL default '',
`UserName` char(50) NOT NULL default '',
`Password` char(50) NOT NULL default '',
`Level` enum('1','2') NOT NULL default '1',
PRIMARY KEY  (`ID`,`UserName`),
UNIQUE KEY `ID` (`ID`),
KEY `ID_2` (`ID`)
) TYPE=MyISAM

Results in this in the error log:

mysqld got signal 11;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely
wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=8388600
read_buffer_size=131072
sort_buffer_size=2097144
max_used_connections=0
max_connections=100
threads_connected=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections =
225791 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...
Cannot determine thread, fp=0xbfe7e918, backtrace may not be correct.
Stack range sanity check OK, backtrace follows:

New value of fp=(nil) failed sanity check, terminating stack trace!
Please read http://www.mysql.com/doc/U/s/Using_stack_trace.html and follow
instructions on how to r
esolve the stack trace. Resolved
stack trace is much more helpful in diagnosing the problem, so please do
resolve it
Trying to get some variables.
Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort...
thd->query at 0x8706af0 = ALTER TABLE `users` ADD `Level` ENUM('1','2')
DEFAULT "1" NOT NULL
thd->thread_id=1

Successfully dumped variables, if you ran with --log, take a look at the
details of what thread 1 did to cause the crash.  In some cases of really
bad corruption, the values shown above may be invalid.

The manual page at http://www.mysql.com/doc/C/r/Crashing.html contains
information that should help you find out what is causing the crash.
