Fulltext Search Problem

[Wido Menhardt]

Servus Sergei,

I whittled the database and table content down to this short script:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `movies`;
CREATE TABLE `movies` (
  `movie_id` int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `title` varchar(200) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`movie_id`),
  FULLTEXT KEY `title` (`title`)
) ENGINE=3DMyISAM AUTO_INCREMENT=3D154 DEFAULT CHARSET=3Dutf8; 

INSERT INTO `movies` VALUES (111,'Offside'),(142,'City Of God'); 

select count(movie_id) as cnt from movies where match (movies.title) =
against ('+city of*' in boolean mode);
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This does never return, and the best thing I have figured out to do is
kill-9 mysql.

This happens on a Red Hat system (I can get you more info if you require
it). Server appears to be 5.1.16-beta.

I also tried the exact same thing on a windows system, and the query =
returns just fine.

Let me know if you need more info.

Wido
