Hi The Mysql binary distribution for IA32-linux is statically linked with glibc. glibc malloc limits memory allocations to 2GB, which means that a buffer in mysql can't grow beyond 2GB. This is due to some paranoia in glibc malloc - they don't rely on the size to be an unsigned int - which limits the size to 2^31 on any 32-bit platform.
Has anyone tried to remove this limit in glibc malloc or linking Mysql with another malloc implementation? -- Per Andreas Buer -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
