I'm using mysql-3.23.29-gamma on Solaris 2.6 sparc. I have a
multithreaded mysql client that is linked to libmysqlclient_r.
On startup, it dumps core after mysql_init() is called. More
specifically, the fault is during the getservbyname() call in
mysql_once_init(), which is part of libmysql.c.
The core dump only happens if /etc/nsswitch.conf specifies:
services: files nis
and /etc/inet/services does not contain:
mysql 3306/tcp
It happens during the search of the NIS services map for the
mysql service. I can't tell if it's due to a bug in the
/usr/lib/nss_nis.so.1 library or something wrong with the way
that the function is invoked.
If anyone else is running into this problem, the workaround is
either to fix /etc/nsswitch.conf or /etc/inet/services. Has
anyone seen this problem? I haven't seen the mysql service name
documented anywhere. Should it be?
