MySQL can do complex queries. Perhaps there is a bug that is triggered
by your specific query (or queries). If you can reproduce this, why
don't you send a complete test case to the developers? They do not want
MySQL to crash any more than you do, and are very willing to fix bugs.
Core dumps aren't always the software. It could be bad RAM (although if
it's dumping on both your intel and Sun boxes, it's probably not hardware).
Anyway, please give more information. Build a debugging version of MySQL
and do a back trace so we'll know where it's crashing. Give us some data
and the exact query or queries that make MySQL crash. Follow the guide-
lines in the manual on how to help the developers fix problems (submit a
full bug report, etc.).
