Description:
MySQL crashes when a remote connection is made to the server. Server crashes with this stack:

This is a custom compiled mysql version to gain performance. I think the optimized compile causes the error.

This is compiled with Debian's pentium-builder enabled (export  DEBIAN_BUILDARCH=pentium)

How to repeat:
Connect to mysql server.

Suggested fix:
enable skip-networking causes the server to close it's network port. The bug doesn't occur anymore because no remote connections can be made.

starting with --skip-name-resolve can be a temporary workaround

Ruben,

This is most likely a duplicate of bug #24611. Please check the error log, it should have the following:
"
You are running a statically-linked LinuxThreads binary on an NPTL system.
This can result in crashes on some distributions due to LT/NPTL conflicts.
You should either build a dynamically-linked binary, or force LinuxThreads
to be used with the LD_ASSUME_KERNEL environment variable. Please consult
the documentation for your distribution on how to do that.
"

Can you verify that mysqld started with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.4.1" does not crash?

Thank you for a problem report. Please, try to repeat with -O2 and/or older gcc version and inform about the results.

Hi,

Alexey Kopytov's changed worked. I have the same message in my error log and starting with LD_ASSUME_KERNEL="2.4.1" makes it work.

Thank you for the feedback.

Closed as duplicate of bug #24611.
