Hi, It sounds like you are using the default thread library. I would install MySQL from /usr/ports/databases (WITH_LINUX_THREADS, see options in Makefile) or barring that try Jeremey's excellent build recipe at http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000458.html . We used to have the same problem and everything runs great now.
