Hi!
If you have already called my_init() then my_once_init() should only
call my_thread_init() which should NOT destroy any memory.
Can you find out on which line your memory gets destroyed ?
Are you sure you are not using an old set of include files with a new
libmysqlclient library?
Regards,
Monty
