A couple of days ago my mysqld had restarted and then aborted.  It can't =
restart because it says something else is using its port.  I did not get =
the chance to telnet to the port at that time to see what was running.
My questions are why is mysqld being restarted and why would the port be =
taken?  Could it be my kernel is not properly clearing the port after =
mysqld aborts?  How can I manually clear this port, so I can start mysqld? =
 I've heard that it could the linuxthreads.  How do I determine which =
version of linuxthreads I have?

Anybody else had this similar problem and have a fix?  Below are the =
errors from the logs.
mysqld restarted on  Fri Mar 19 13:36:06 CST 1999
990319 13:36:06  Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already =
in use
990319 13:36:06  Do you already have another mysqld server running on port:=
 3306 ?
990319 13:36:06  Aborting

I'm running MySQL 3.22.16a-gamma (should I upgrade?), with Linux 2.0.36 on =
Redhat 5.2.  If anyone can respond as soon as possible, that would be =
great!

Thanks.
