mysql broken on amd64 ?

[Mickael Marchand <mikmak@freenux.org>]

Hi,

I am setting up a new server (actually a 'vserver'), and installed mysql 
from backports into it.
as I am testing our website, I noticed that mysql sometimes get stuck on 
some queries (like INSERT INTO). It locks down the whole website :/
It's not always stuck but sometimes it does. It seems to be quite random.

sadly I can't gdb the server because of the vserver (ptrace is locked).
the only thing I can do is to kill -9 mysql's locked thread. 
(/etc/init.d/mysql stop does not work either)

I will investigate more on monday probably.

has anybody else seen something similar ?

Cheers,
Mik
