Thanks!

The settings I mention are from "ancient times" -- specifically RELENG_6
on i386 (I know because I found an old mailing list post of mine
discussing the settings with a user).

The problem as I said was that mysqld would crap itself (crash and be
quite loud about it) if the process allocated too much memory/became too
large.  I am fairly certain the issue related to the data size, **not**
the stack size (but I didn't see the harm in increasing that either).

It's good to know I can remove these on amd64.  Yay, one less thing in
loader.conf I have to deal with...  :-)  Thanks again!
