I'm currently trying to build with debugging symbols to see if it might make things a bit more obvious, but mysqld is actually crashing in rec_copy_prefix_to_buf().
Just for fun I tried running Debian's binary, since it's being built from what appears to be the same codebase with the same patch applied, and it didn't crash. -- mysql-server-5.0 5.0.24a-9 receives signal 4 on startup https://launchpad.net/bugs/66702 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
