>Description: MySQL crashes when a remote computer attempts to make a standard connection. Making a local connection does not cause this problem, connecting to other systems does not cause this problem, but a connection from a remote computer to mySQL immediately crashes mySQL.
The details I have available (from safe_mysqld restarting) is [the segfault is at the exact moment we connect via mysql from a remote computer]: [root@george root]# Starting mysqld daemon with databases from /var/lib/mysql /usr/bin/safe_mysqld: line 269: 17274 Segmentation fault $NOHUP_NICENESS $ledir/$MYSQLD $defaults --basedir=$MY_BASEDIR_VERSION --datadir=$DATADIR $USER_OPTION --pid-file=$pid_file --skip-locking >>$err_log 2>&1 Number of processes running now: 2 mysqld process hanging, pid 17277 - killed mysqld process hanging, pid 17277 - killed 021108 22:16:03 mysqld restarted >How-To-Repeat: Connect from another computer on the internet. Use the mysql client.
