I've been having some problems over the last few days with regard to a
large query that I need to run which has started to crash the server
EVERY TIME the query is run.

I think I have localized the problem to RedHat Linux Enterprise
Edition.  It has changes some low level disk IO stuff (that's what the
docs say anyway).  I have used mysqldump to dump the database off of a
running system using redhat linux 6.2 (the free one).  To test I
reimported it on that same system with no problem the query runs fine.

I then try to import into a system running the Enterprise Edition and it
crashes the server.  I then tried another system that I have also
running the Enterprise edition of Linux and it crashes MySQL their also.

Is their any known issues with this?  I have tried the source RPM and
the binary RPM to see if it was a compile problem but they both give the
same effect..

Does anyone have any ideas?  I could build from the tar.gz file but I'm
not sure if that would have any change from the source RPM.

Any input would be appriciated.

Serge.
