Very interesting. That makes 4 or 5 almost identical problem reports
for FreeBSD-3.*.
It might help to get a list of common points between all the machines,
like:
FreeBSD version (and last cvsup/buildworld time if you follow -STABLE)
Compiled from FreeBSD ports tree?
Native threads or MIT-threads? (if "ldd /usr/local/libexec/mysqld" lists libc_r, it's
native)
output of "sysctl kern.maxfiles"
MySQL version (mysqladmin version)
UNIX socket or TCP/IP? (mysqladmin version)
# of open tables
Approximate client load during the hang
If anyone can reproduce it reliably, output of a ktrace or truss run on
mysqld as the hang occurs might help as well.
