My first try was with the included debian-mysql-amd64 package (against
64bit libs compiled). But it also happens with the official binaries
(for example with
mysql-standard-4.1.13-unknown-linux-gnu-x86_64-glibc23.tar.gz).
I already tried to activated the innodb monitor (create table ...).
But SHOW INNODB STATUS still show no problem (or active transactions),
while SHOW PROCESSLIST show me ongoing & locked queries...

I get a big trace file... but for me it's not readable or providing any
help...
Possible that I hit the problem with mysql/libc2.3/amd64 ...
