Get it fixed??!?!? And surrender? No, you can't do that! :-)

Out of curiosity, have you guys looked at InnoDB for this purpose, given it 
won't serialise writes? I take it you've seen MyISAM allowing readers to 
continue while writes happen as adequate for what you need though?

Additionally, and completely off-topic, do you know if those Mandrake 9.2 ISOs 
have the 350MB or so of updates pre-applied?

Regards,

Chris

P.S. Does syslog show anything unusual regarding your problem? I've been
lucky to never have a MySQL problem that I couldn't sovle by inspection, as 
everything that gets written to syslog goes straight into a MySQL database! 
:-) Of course, InnoDB having it's own logs helps quite a lot.
