This is from a defect in the packaging of the MySQL server package where those libraries are copied from, they are copies there as well instead of symbolic links. This is corrected in MySQL server 5.1. I assume the agent will move to use the MySQL server client libraries now when it is GA, making this problem go away. If really a problem with the library size, and 5.0 is going to be used, it is possible to solve when packaging the agent, in effect correct the defect in the original MySQL server package. But I suggest not to do that, and instead move to use MySQL server 5.1.

Andy, I'm adding you as reviewer on this issue. As Kent mentions, this should be corrected when the move is made to MySQL 5.1. However, if necessary, the links could be created by the Bitrock install builder. Keith
