Hi Gerald,

I am sure I don't have this in my my.cfg.  I am using the supplied 
'large table' my.cfg.  The *only* innodb option I have is the command 
line parameter to mysqld:

--innodb

If anybody has any other options about how to get innodb working in 
5.1.9, I'd be very interested!

Thanks for the advise,

Ben
