I have a Red Hat 7.2 box running MySQL 3.23 on an Athlon XP 1700 with 1 GB of RAM. I have had this box for months and it has never had a problem.
Yesterday I invoked a LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE command on a text file with 1.5M 2-field tab-delimited varchars into an empty 2-field table and it not only crashed MySQL , but crashed the entire Linux box as well. Upon reboot, I found the table corrupted and cleared it, then reran the same command except using the command-line mysqlimport syntax. MySQL seemed behaved, using ~80-97% CPU and 29.5% memory, and loaded the table just fine in 10m. I'm not a member of this list so email me directly if you have questions.
