Do the mails you referenced already contain an easy to reproduce example? I don't use JDBC etc, so if you just give me a .java/.class file and the necessary .sql database that I can use to reproduce the bug I will make some backtraces and file the bug report (if I can reproduce it :)) > I suppose there is some compilation involved when the binary packages > are build? > do you see area's where a mismatch in libraries could be causing values > passed between systems to get converted/interpreted in a wrong way > (as an example all ints passed to the prepared statements get one added > and then shifted left for 16 positions) Sounds not very probable, indeed :) > well, I've guessed as much after seeing the reaction over at ubuntu > (which was something like: "we don't do that package, go yell there") mysql offers some prebuild binary packages on their website. Maybe you can check those, just substituting /usr/sbin/mysqld might be enough. Oh, and maybe try mysql-server-5.0 - if it's a bug then we know that we have to fix it in both packages :) As Debian and Ubunto uses the same source but maybe different builds, you might want to check out the Debian builds at http://packages.debian.org/mysql-server-4.1 http://packages.debian.org/mysql-server-5.0 bye, -christian- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
