Hi,

        I am running mysql 3.23.53 on FreeBSD 4.4. I compiled mysql from source with 
the following configure command:

--prefix=/usr/local --localstatedir=/var/db/mysql

        Every now and then, the server seems to change its database directory to 
/var/tmp. When it happens, "show databases" gives me the content of the 
/var/tmp directory!

        I had this problem for more than a year now, and I upgraded every time a new 
version was available hoping it would fix it. I noticed that the higher to 
load on the mysql daemon, the more likely it is to happen... So there is 
probably a race condition or something.

        The manual says mysql is less reliable on FreeBSD because of the poor 
multi-threading implementation. I didn't expect I'd have to restard it every 
day (!!)

        Any help would be very appreciated.


Thank you,

Cedric
