The maximal list size is given by MAX_DEFAULT_DIRS, set in the same file to 6. A patch included in the FreeBSD port adds an extra directory but does not bump MAX_DEFAULT_DIRS from 6 to 7. Since this issue is created by the FreeBSD port in the first place, it is not an upstream bug. >How-To-Repeat: I spotted this with an embedded MySQL server. I expect it will happen with the non-embedded server as well: Set DEFAULT_HOME_ENV in the environment, then launch the server. It will attempt to add seven directories to the list and abort. >Fix: Add a patch in the port that increases MAX_DEFAULT_DIRS by one. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
