Hi all,

I have a serious problem with MySQL 4.1.22 on Solaris 9, SPARC. I have a
database server with around 10 or so databases, each with roughly 20-50
tables. At fairly consistent intervals, MySQL gets stuck with 100s of
queries in the "Opening tables" state. I have checked the value of my
Open_tables and so far, it hasn't gone above my table_cache setting in
my.cnf. 

If I stop and restart the MySQL server, the problem goes away, likewise
if I flush tables. So this doesn't seem to be purely a "load" issue, as
I would expect the problem to come straight back again as soon as I
restarted or flushed the tables.

Any ideas what could explain this, or what I should look at further in
order to diagnose the problem and find a possible soultion ?

Thanks,

-Mark
