Description:
mysql-administrator fails on startup, like this:
   $  mysql-administrator
   *** glibc detected *** free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x08aab6e0 ***
   /usr/bin/mysql-administrator: line 18:  4299 Aborted                 $PRG-bin

I installed the Linux RPM package from www.mysql.com. The installation 
occured without any errors.  The platform is Linux Fedora Core 3 (Athlon CPU)
with the latest Fedora updates.

These are the details of glibc:
   $  dir /lib/libc-*
   -rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 1508872 Apr  7  2005 /lib/libc-2.3.5.so

How to repeat:
Run mysql-administrator -- it fails immediately.

The problem has disappeared after rebooting the computer.

I'm not clear what caused the problem -- it looks like a
library bug that was cured by a later version becoming 
current after rebooting.  Unfortunately, I'm not sure 
what was updated and can't identify what the change was.

Thanks for the great product!

Thank you for a comment. May I close this bug report now or you'd like to monitor the MySQL Administrator's work for some time for similar crashes?

I think the bug should be closed -- it seems to be a 
library compatibility issue, not a problem in mysql-administrator.
