Bug #41196	mysqlmonitor installer segfault on f10 ( fedora 10 )

Version:	2.0.0.7105-linux-x86	OS:	Any
Assigned to:	BitRock Merlin	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
installer segfault on fedora 10

How to repeat:
# ./mysqlmonitor-2.0.0.7105-linux-x86-installer.bin
Segmentation fault

Suggested fix:
rebuild on fedora10

64bit F10 with 64bit installer works ok, seams like problem is only with 32bit version

Note that another person on our team was able to reproduce the problem:

"I managed to get both the glibc2.2 and glibc2.3 versions from enterprise.mysql.com to segfault upon start."

So that means 1 customer and 1 internal person experience the problem, but another internal person was successful.

Note that it is the installer that is seg-faulting -- not (yet at least) the agent after installation has completed.

Can you please test with 

--mode text

and

--mode xwindow 

and see if one of them works (as a workaround).

From one of our developers who was able to reproduce the original problem:

"Both work for me (sorry for not trying the obvious thing) on both 32bit installers (glibc 2.2 and 2.3).

Only starting without a --mode option fails for me."

Patch sent to Keith.

New InstallBuilder version sent to Keith.

Patch installed in versions => 2.0.1.7125.

An entry was added to the 2.0.1 changelog:

The MySQL Enterprise Monitor installer generated a segfault on RedHat Fedora 10:

shell> ./mysqlmonitor-2.0.0.7105-linux-x86-installer.bin
Segmentation fault
