From: Date: January 1 1970 12:00am Subject: Mysql seems to hang. List-Archive: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql/2288 Message-Id: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII I posted this one once before but I am not shure it made it to the list. I periodicaly have mysql hang with the error message: mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failed error: 'Can't create a new thread (errno 35). If you are not out of available memory, you can consult the manual for a possible OS-dependent bug' I am running Linux 5.1 on an Alpha processor with all the latest updates. kernel version 2.1.124 glibc is glibc-2.0.7-13 The thread tests all seem to run to completion correctly and in past experiances I found that the thread tests were the first to break when the pthread problem exists in glibc. I believe I am seeing a EWOULDBLOCK or EAGAIN error. Does anybody have any ideas? Alvin Starr || voice: (416)585-9971 Interlink Connectivity || fax: (416)585-9974 alvin@stripped ||
