Package: libc6
Version: 2.0.5c-0.1
I'm trying to become the new maintainer of the mysql package, but
neither I nor Christian Schwarz (the previous maintainer) are able to
build a package where mysqld doesn't seg fault under libc6-2.0.5. However, replacing the libpthreads library with that from 2.0.4 seems to fix the problem.
On the mailing list for mysql, the following short patch for libc6 was included. I tried it, and it seems to solve the problem with mysqld, but of course I have no idea what other problems it may cause.
We'll probably have to release libc5 versions of mysql until this problem is fixed.

I've the same environment and made a patch for the linuxthreads from
glibc2.0.5c:

I've compiled mysql-3.20.29 without any problems and it runs fine
now. Ulrich Drepper, the developer of glibc, has written me, that
it is okay to delete the above lines in the linuxthreads-library
because it's an doubtful feature of POSIX.1c used rarely. The worst
case is that programs don't give back their memory immediately ; this
happens then at the programs end. An official patch for linuxthreads
will be in glibc-2.1, available in some weeks.
