Hi All,
This is a bizarre one and I'm very confused so I thought the list may be
able to help.
I've been running mysql 3.22.25 for some time now without any problems but
last week, decided to upgrade some of our system software so I downloaded
mysql (3.22.26) along with all of our the latest gnu software (fileutils,
findutils, .... all of the general packages + gcc 2.95.1 (we were running
2.95)).
After the upgrade, I can retrieve lines from the database with dates in but
if I ask for something on a specific date (e.g. '1999-10-20') I get a core
dump and lose the connection to the database.
I can see the core file in /usr/local/var but have no idea how to analyse
it to see what went wrong (I'm only a baby sys-admin!). I have since tried
downgrading to 3.22.25 but the same problem persists so I'm wondering if
it's been one of the gnu distributions that's messed it up?
Rather than overloading people now with every piece of information I have,
could people give me some idea as to what they would need to know before I
can get round to solving the problem?
Many thanks,
Terry
