 mysql323-client also fails with this error
 
 The issue is that in the longlong check, it uses fopen() to get a file pointer,
 then later uses close() with the file pointer.... cahnging the close to fclose
 solves the immediate issue.
 
 I can provide patches for both mysql323-server and mysql323-client if no one
 else wants to bother it...
 
 I'm planning on digging into the close() function in libc_r and seeing why
 it sig11's instead of returning the error code. This function is somewhat
 broken in the library :(
