Hi there, I still have problems with this when using MySQL 4.0.8. When I try to DROP a DATABASE, it will go through and delete all the tables, except the last two, apparently because it "can't delete the table.myi file". When I restart the server, I can DROP one of the tables, then I get the error again for the other table, so then I restart the server again and I can DROP the last table. The problem also persists on ALTERing TABLEs.
