No, a segfault (see end of second line) indicates either a bug in MySQL
or one of the libraries it uses (unlikely) or an incompatibility between
them. This being an OS less than 1 month out of the gate, I'd bet on
the latter.
For now, try installing the version from Fink instead. It'll have to
rebuild itself from source, which will avoid many of the possible
incompatibility problems. http://fink.sf.net/
