Description:
Think I found a bug:

I compiled MySQL 4.0.15a for my RedHat 7.3 machine. I can start safe_mysqld without any problem but I can't connect to server using mysql or mysqladmin. I get the following error:

  ERROR 2002: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (12)

perror says:

  Error code  12:  Cannot allocate memory

mysqld keeps on running, it *doesn't* crash, so I think it is a problem with mysql client.

'mysql.sock' gets created.

Please always fill in How-to-repeat section.

By the way the fact that mysql exits with error means it doesn't crash.
