Moi,
every now and then my otherwise happely running mysqld has a thread or two stuck in the state 'statistics'. If I kill it with `mysqladmin kill <poor threads id>` it does get registered as 'killed' (According to `mytop`). But the thread refuses to die. They do die eventually but it can take a few thousend seconds. I suppose it waits till the 'statistics' state is over before it accepts its defeat. The queries which cause this are usually nice > 9 table joins. I don`t care the take loooong to execute, but it would by nice if killing them actually helped. Any thoughts? This is 4.0.7 but I can remember this has happend in < 4.0 as well.
