Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libmysqlclient15off

**Only seems to apply to SPARC platform**

When attempting to use any program that acts as a MySQL client (the
mysql client itself, PHP's mysql support, etc) from a SPARC machine, the
client crashes with a Bus Error if the server's hostname has to be
resolved. For example:

(In this case, mysql.internal resolves to 192.168.0.3)

This works fine, as the server name is specified by it's IP address:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql -u werdz -h 192.168.0.3 -p
Enter password: 
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1193400 to server version: 
4.0.24_Debian-10sarge2-log

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> exit
Bye


But when the same server is specified by hostname, it fails:


[EMAIL PROTECTED] mysql -u werdz -h mysql.internal -p
Enter password: 
Bus error


The exact same behaviour appears when connecting from a PHP script
running on the same machine - PHP dies with a Bus Error. It works,
however, if the IP address is specified.

The bug is appearing on a Sun Niagara T1 system (in a Sun Fire T2000), however 
there have been reports of the same bug appearing on other SPARC systems:
