Can you give any more information on this? How often does
it occur, and are there any particular circumstances which
give rise to it (in particular, any other informative log
entries)? Is there anything unusual about your
configuration?

            I'm guessing this is `1.4.1' ?

Hmm. I'm slightly concerned that it's crashing under 1.4.1
-- I don't recall having fixed any bugs of that type since
then. In any case, upgrading to 1.4.2 is sensible.

Can you try running configure with --with-mysql-root=/usr
-- this shouldn't be necessary but you never know. If that
doesn't work, could you try 

    CFLAGS=-I/usr/include/mysql
    CPPFLAGS=$CFLAGS
    LDFLAGS=-L/usr/lib/mysql    # or wherever libmysqlclient lives
    export CFLAGS CPPFLAGS LDFLAGS
    rm config.cache
    ./configure --enable-auth-mysql

and see if that works.


I hate autoconf.
