Well, I just discovered through trial and error that threads ARE being
spawned on Redhat 8. The problem is that the "ps" that came with 7.2 7.3
was compiled to show threads as separate processes it seems. On Redhat 8
you have to add the "-m" switch to "ps" to make it show all threads. Just
thought this should be noted somewhere, since all the documentation, and
every newsgroup posting I've seen all indicate that you SHOULD DEFINITELY
see at least 3 mysqld processes running upon initial startup.
Later.
