Ah, you are back on the mailinglists! For the record (beyond the
responses from people that already did reply): You are referring
to an old release of MySQL in your subject; this is no longer
supported (afair) by the MySQL team and you are encouraged to
chase the latest GA release (which is 5.0.41 at the moment).

Remko
