I have just updated from MySQL 3.23.51 to 4.0.4 on my Win2000 Prof SP2 portable, and shortly afterwards noted some runaway problem was consuming memory. Left long enough, Windows eventually starts bleating about its amount of virtual memory; obviously things start to thrash, and apps gradually grind to a halt...
I rebooted and got back to work but shortly thereafter the problem persisted/reasserted itself. Noting that my machine is comparatively small, I swapped C:\WinNT\My.ini for the my-small template. I rebooted and running no apps only started/inspected Administrative Tools, eg Event Viewer, Services, and Windows Task Manager. There were no errors in the system logs, nor did anything appear in MySQL's. However, once again something seemed to be taking a bite out of memory every few seconds. Question to ask: what's new/changed? Sure enough, when I stopped MySQL the memory was returned to the pool. Restarted the system again, watched the dials again, and again "somebody's been eating my memory!" This time I only got as far as stopping WinMySQLadmin, and noted that the stolen memory was released - NB I did not need to stop the MySQL service, it's still running happily. I've had a quick look around, but not noted any reported problems with this version of WinMySQLAdmin. Someone please point me in the right direction, =dn --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
