Hi!
A known bug with MySQL 3.x is that it sometimes enters a 100% cpu usage
loop if you stress it too much (I can repeat this every 2-3 weeks).
I just attached a ktrace, and it shows this:

57486 mysqld RET poll 1
57486 mysqld CALL gettimeo
JFYI, the patch Ian recently MFCed does fix the problem here on our
