Description:
The mysql command line client crashes on exit:
# mysql mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 11 to server version: 3.23.55-log

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> Segmentation fault (core dumped)

(I typed Control-D at the command prompt.)

Using gdb, I find:

The OpenBSD is from August 22th and should include W^X on i386.

How to repeat:
start mysql, exit with control-d
 (it also works without a data base)

Sorry, but the bug system is not the appropriate forum for asking

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.

Segmentation fault on mysql exit is indication of improper build or broken dependancies with dynamically linked libraries.

3.23.55 is very old and there is chance this is caused by problem fixed meanwhile.
Use 3.23.58 instead

If the latest version still crashes for you, please reopen this bugreport.

I have the same problem with mysql, 3.23.58 and NetBSD 1.6.2_RC3
I will commit a new bug
