Hello!
Please provide more information, for example the MySQL version
you are using (version number, source / binary distribution ?)
and information about your platform. Please use mysqlbug and
see section 'How to report bugs or problems' from the manual.
It seems as if you have a RedHat Linux 5.X. If this is the
case, you will need to update all the files concerning RedHat.
Please update all lib -stuff from RedHat errata.
(http://www.redhat.com/support/docs/errata.html)
Regards,
- Jani
