I'm not shure, but i think that at least your read_buffer_size and
sort_buffer_size values are too high!
> key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 3415663 K
> bytes of memory
How much memory does that machine have ?
You can modify those values in your mysql confi

I installed mysql 4.0.8 from RPMs on a machine running RedHat 7.3
(fresh install. I did not install the mysql rpms that come with RH 7.3)
mysql ran for a while (few hours) and then started to crash in very fast
cycles (about 1/sec)
This mysql instance is a slave for a 3.23.53
