Description:
The binaries compiled with icc seem to have a problem related to net_buffer_length.  It does not appear 
to be growing as it should up to max_allowed_packet.

How to repeat:
Install the icc build.

Set net_buffer_length to less than 11K in /etc/my.cnf 

Run mysql_install_db

It will fail on one of the help table inserts as it is must be just over 10K in size.

Suggested fix:
see what icc is doing differently than gcc.

it doesn't appear to be effected by max_allowed_packet.

Hi Matthew,

Just tried to repeat that using mysql-standard-4.1.3-beta-pc-linux-i686-icc
on Red Hat 8.0 (2.4.18-14) - no luck, everything works fine.
What exact net_buffer_length value did you use?
Could you try mysql-standard-4.1.3-beta-pc-linux-i686-icc on your box?

Regards, Ramil.

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem.  Unfortunately
you are not using a current version of the product your reported a
problem with -- the problem might already be fixed. Please download

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions,
please change the version on this bug report to the version you
tested and change the status back to "Open".  Again, thank you for
your continued support of MySQL.

Hi Ramil,

Did you actually test this with 4.1.3?  I doubt that this has been fixed as it was icc specific and 
related to static libc problems that also incur the problems regarding resolveip and switching 
users.

Best Regards

Hi Matthew,

Yes, I did. As I wrote, I downloaded 4.1.3 icc build and installed it without any 
problems on Red Hat 8.0 box.

Best regards.

P.S. Just tried to repeat the issue once again - no luck :(

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed
in the latest released version of that product, which you can download at

Additional info:

Probably it was a build problem.
I'm closing the bug as 4.1.4 works properly.
