Hi!
Note that MySQL 3.23 has much now features in UDF, so this may hit you
somehow. I have some glibc problems on my development Linux machine
and I can't download libraries dynamicly into MySQL :( I can't test
this until by the end of this month (when I intend to install RedHat
6.0 on it). I would be very greatfull if you can locate the bug (if
this is a bug)
