Hi Folks, I've been trying to debug Mysql server 3.23.32 under Irix 6.5.10f. While it compiles and executes under light load, any significant load results in sigsegv. (easily reproducible by running a python script to access a database. One instance of the script, no problem, two instances: quick crash). I've tried to debug this but I've been thwarted at every move: 1) I cannot get a core: --core-file, --core-file-size=xxxxx doesn't seem to help generate a core. 2) Running under dbx results in: # dbx /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld dbx version 7.2.1.3m Dec 23 1998 01:09:37 Executable /usr/local/mysql/libexec/mysqld (dbx) run Process 754437 (mysqld) started Fatal error: Please read "Security" section of the manual to find out how to run mysqld as root! 010204 19:41:22 Aborting # id -r uid=0(root) gid=0(sys) # id uid=0(root) gid=0(sys) Looks like I *am* root... so I cannot debug it that way. 3) Log and Debug/Trace output doesn't give any clues (or perhaps I just don't know what to look for). 4) test_thr_alarm and test_thr_lock pass their tests. About the only thing I've been able to determine is that running --one-thread inhibits the crashes, so we suspect the interface to/with Irix pthreads. (all of the above is with --with-debug configured). Where would I go from here? Has anyone had trouble or success running 3.23.32 under Irix 6.5.xy I would be interested in knowing your OS revision (your versions of x and y above, via uname -R) and any configuration or code changes if your answer is "works for me." Thanks for any clues. - Scott Presnell ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Our Python "crashme" script: import MySQLdb for ii in range( 250 ): db = MySQLdb.connect( user='myname', passwd='mypass', db='mydb', host='myhost' ) cur = db.cursor() cur.execute( "select myname, myrank from rank" ) db.close() --------------------------------------------------------------------- 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?
