There's some background on the problems you're likely hitting here:

  http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000203.html
  http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000458.html
  http://jeremy.zawodny.com/blog/archives/000697.html

In short, I'd suggest using 4.0.xx and compiling with LinuxThreads
support.  That'll probably solve some (if not all) of the problems.
It has done wonders for us and other FreeBSD/MySQL shops I know of.
