Hello,

I have searched high and low for more specifics to the problem I am
having but to no avail. Hopefully someone here can help. I really
appreciate any knowledge that may be imparted. On to the question!

We have numerous mail servers running qmail/vpopmail with MySQL used as
the backend. Password authentication is done with vpopmail. Vpopmail is
written in C using the mysql api. Occassionally, as in once every 20
trys or so, not dependant on the system load, an error is thrown when
authenticating: vmysql: mysql store result failed. Tracking this error
leads to this line of code:

  Line 387: if (!(res_read = mysql_store_result(&mysql_read))) {

One line above does not fail, called on the same MySQL struct:

  Line 381: if (mysql_query(&mysql_read,SqlBufRead)) {

Dumping mysql_errno and mysql_error to syslog show this:

  errno=2000 error=Unknown MySQL error

The mysql error log doesn't contain any generated messages. 

I'm really at a loss here. The same query works moments later and
moments before. It doesn't seem to be dependent on the input to the
query. 

Here is the define for the query:

  #define USER_SELECT "select pw_name, pw_passwd, pw_uid, pw_gid, \
  pw_gecos, pw_dir, pw_shell , pw_clear_passwd, (pw_smtp <= pw_mpd && 
  pw_smtp >= 0) AS pw_allow_smtp, pw_aap \
  from %s where pw_name = \"%s\" and pw_domain = \"%s\" "

It is written to the buffer like this:

  snprintf(SqlBufRead, SQL_BUF_SIZE, USER_SELECT, domstr, user, domain);

Is there a way to make mysql more verbose to aid in locating this error?
Has anyone run across something similar? Am I just missing something
here?

Thanks for your help,

David

------ Configuration Information --------

The client was running 3.23.x client libs, but I upgraded them to 4.1.9
and did not see a change (i did recompile vpopmail after the upgrade).

Here is the relevant server configuration information.
