Hi The last functions in the backtrace belong to the rather new SSL code which has been activated in 5.0.22-4 so it is indeed be likely that the problem "suddenly" appears after the last update. (quick fix: manually install 5.0.22-3 again, it might still be in /var/cache/apt/archives)
I checked the build log[1] and it says that the (libmysqlclient15off_5.0.24-1) package was tried to get compiled for the i486-linux-gnu target. Sadly the further g++ calls in the build log do not seem to have a --target= paramter so I cannot tell for sure what GCC actually did. The 100 MHz Cyrix CPU was a Pentium clone i.e. at least no pre-i486 CPU, right? In the source code I found no obvious architecture dependend optimizing parts and neither a related bug report on http://bugs.mysql.com. Please try if the official MySQL i386 version works better. Download "Linux (non RPM, Intel C/C++ compiled, glibc-2.3) downloads Linux (x86) Standard 5.0.24 26.0M Download" from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.0.html, unpack it and just copy the libmysqlclient.so.15.0.0 over to /usr/lib/ bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
