Hi,
I have been using xmysqladmin successfully for quite
some time to change the table structure of my databases
(as I haven't been able to fugure out how to do this with
mysqlgui...)
After doing lots of upgrades here, Linux -> 2.4.3, glibc -> 2.2
and mysql -> 3.23.31 xmysqladmin started coredumping.
No problem I did those changes from mysql, but now as I had
some bigger changes and seom more time I checked out what
was wrong and here are the results:
The problem is that there are functions in util.c that returns
a pointer to a function private string. This will be allocated on the
stack and destroyed randomly. Using it then will end up in disaster.
It apparently worked with previous glibc:s by chance.....
The fix is to make the variables 'static'.
The following patch will do that:
