One of the developers is having a problem optimizing a table in MySQL
4.0.14-standard on Solaris 9. The optimize seems to succeed but when he
tries to access the table with a SQL client, we get an error of
something to the effect that MySQL "cannot fine MESSAGES.MYI". After
running 'myisamchk -o' on the table, corruption is found and repaired.
This happens every time the optimize is run on the table.

I think the problem may be reltated to disk space; we are rather low on
some file systems. Our pet theory is that the optimize writes out a
temporary DB which fails. Does anyone know what exactly optimize writes
out to the OS? I cannot find any information on this.

Thanks,
