is a link to this bug. In fact the glibc update is conflicting with client connections to mysql. The bug was first reported around 10-4-02 and has been given a priority code of 'High'. Redhat Response..... The problem is actually that MySQL uses insanely low RLIMIT_STACK and does gethostbyname from such threads. There are many other places in glibc which use alloca for 32K etc., so it is weird MySQL did not get caught by this far earlier. A patch to deal with low RLIMIT_STACK while not slowing programs down in the normal case is in the works. End Redhat response..... They are working on a patch. One is in the testing phase. 'Fixed' RPMs are available, but have not been fully tested and IMO should be considered very raw alpha patches. For now, all I can find is to revert back to the previous version of glibc, or wait until the update is released. -- John Hinton - Goshen, VA. http://www.ew3d.com Those who dance are considered insane by those who can't hear the music.... --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
