I have to pipe up; I'm running into problems, and seek insight: I have successfully built and tested mSQL 1.0.10 and 1.0.13 under FreeBSD 2.1R. I've been successfully using for for all sort of little things, and it seemed well-behaved. I recently invented a large table (360k lines, 13 columns), which seemed to be inserted correctly. However: my efforts to use msqldump generate a coredump. Certain queries ( I tried one that should have returned a thousand one-column records ) reveal that there is a nasty memory leak somewhere. When I set the server's debug variable to 'malloc', when I shut down the server, it announces that there is a leak, but follows up with the message 'memory leak detected: 0 blocks freed, etc...' or something unhelpful to that effect. My questions: 1) Have other people on other OSs noted memory leak problems? 2) Has it been pinpointed to msqld, as opposed to a buggy malloc library? 3) Any suggestions on how to pinpoint where the error might be? My diagnostic skills do not extend to an application of this scope...
