I had no success getting MySQL to work.  The mysql.com sources
configured/compiled with your patch; the Debian source:

	ftp://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pub/debian-amd64/gcc-3.4/pool/unstable/main/source/m/mysql-dfsg/

appeared to already include the patch.  Both configure/compile, but
then segfault as soon as they launch.

I'll bring it up (again; this time with more info) to the MySQL guys.
Thanks for your help!
