Description:
I compiled MySQL 5.5.10 on a Debian VPS by myself.

When starting mysql (command-line utility) I have to login using valid credentials. After I've done this I get the following output:

~/mysql-5.5.10# mysql --debug=d:t:O,/tmp/client.trace -u root -p
Enter password: 

-------------------------------------------------------
MYSQL_DEBUG found. libmysql started with the following:
d:t:O,/tmp/client.trace
-------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 5
Server version: 5.5.10-log Source distribution

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

How to repeat:
After I got that error not using the debug flag I recompiled MySQL with debug flags. The error persists.

Trace - Core dump

Attachment: client.trace (application/octet-stream, text), 10.38 KiB.

What exact commands you had used to build it?

To build MySQL I issued:

cmake .
make
make install

And then I had to correct permissions, create the mysql database and copy the my.cnf to /etc/
That was basically my install process. Nothing special I think.

Please, send the output of:

mysql --version

I want to check if readline library is used. Also, please, send your my.cnf used.

~# mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.5.10, for Linux (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper

my.cnf, which I am using. It's just a copy oh my-medium.cnf

Attachment: my.cnf (application/octet-stream, text), 4.55 KiB.

So you use EditLine (libedit), not readline library. What version of libedit do you have there?

It's the most up to date Debian Lenny version of libedit

Version: libedit2 (2.11~20080614-1)

Did you ever resolve this issue? I've just replaced mysql-server-5.1 with a source build of 5.5.13 on Debian and I get the same behaviour when running the mysql client.

No, the issue was never resolved. Nobody at MySQL seems to care.

Can you please try with the binaries from http://www.mysql.com/downloads/ and see if your problem persists ?
