For some reason, certain binaries (that use pthreads) will be linked against both libc5 and libc6 (on some systems). Get the people who reported the bugs to run ldd on mysql, and see if that is the problem. When a binary is linked against both libc5 and 6, it will segfault immediately, so the symptmps are the same. As far as fixing this: I have no idea as to why this happens or how to fix it :)
