Hi there,
Haven't been watching the list lately so forgive me if this has already been discussed here recently. Have any of you seen an issue with MySQL 3.23.52 spiralling out of control after a minute or so of operation? We run a fairly high-volume db, previously running 3.23.49a and upgrading today to 3.23.52. The system comes up and runs fine for a minute or so, reaching a binlog file size of almost exactly 78k each time, and then something weird happens... top suddenly shows a hundred mysqld processes, load jumps from around 0.5 to 4, to 9, to 15, 23, and then sits there, fluctuating between 20 and 25, while processlist shows a dozen or more connections trying to authenticate and all client machines report a cannot connect error message. We went to 3.23.51 instead a little while ago and it seems to be working normally. Any ideas about what might be causing this? Is this a known issue?
