That does make sense, yes. That reminds me of an easy feature request. Would it be possible to have a slave-auto-start=no option (or something like that) in my.cnf? There have been cases when I want to start a server but do not want replication to start on its own? > To prove this, check modification time on db3-relay-bin.005 - should > be around the time mysqld was killed and should be almost identical > to the creation time on the first core, if you still have it around. Actually, I blew away the core file just a few hours ago. And the relay-bin file has been processed and is gone now. :-( > Nevertheless, it was a blessing in disguise to have the stale broken > log laying around - it helped me find a different bug.

The server is well past that point already with the new code, so I guess that won't be necessary. Jeremy -- Jeremy D.
