I have to pipe up; I'm running into problems, and seek insight:

I have successfully built and tested mSQL 1.0.10 and 1.0.13 under
FreeBSD 2.1R.

I've been successfully using for for all sort of little things,
and it seemed well-behaved.

I recently invented a large table (360k lines, 13 columns), which
seemed to be inserted correctly.

However: my efforts to use msqldump generate a coredump.  Certain
queries ( I tried one that should have returned a thousand one-column
records ) reveal that there is a nasty memory leak somewhere.

When I set the server's debug variable to 'malloc', when I shut
down the server, it announces that there is a leak, but follows up
with the message 'memory leak detected: 0 blocks freed, etc...' or
something unhelpful to that effect.

My questions:

1) Have other people on other OSs noted memory leak problems?

2) Has it been pinpointed to msqld, as opposed to a buggy malloc
library?

3) Any suggestions on how to pinpoint where the error might be?

My diagnostic skills do not extend to an application of this scope...
