Mysql on freebsd strange core dumps

[Mihai Tanasescu]

Hello,


I'm running a mysql server   mysql-server-4.1.16 on a FreeBSD 
6.0-RELEASE-p1  and I'm constantly getting this:

pid 82947 (mysqld), uid 88: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)


(about 10-15 times a day).


I ran the gdb debugger on the core dump and saw the following:

Loaded symbols for /libexec/ld-elf.so.1
#0  0x2856365d in pthread_mutexattr_init () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.2

Sorry for the long paste.


Has anyone got any idea on how this might get fixed ?

One thing I haven't tried again is to resync the sources and recompile  
the system base. (as libpthread seems to be part of the base system).
