Apache-2.0+PHP5 does not like MySQL-5.x ...

[Forrest Aldrich]

After a long process of figuring out what went wrong, httpd was using a 
ton of resources when it received a HUP signal (log rotation at 
midnight).  Subsequently, php -v was dumping core.... things pointed to 
mysqli.so.  

Long story short, I downgraded to mysql-4.10, recompiled php5 and 
dependencies and walla, no more problems.

Though I didn't specifically figure out the problem, I'm pretty sure 
it's MySQL related as that was the only thing that was changed on this 
system (apart from recompiling dependencies to support the new API).

I wonder if someone has run across this and if so, have you found a bug 
or a solution. 


Thanks.
