[debian-mysql] Bug#518477: libmysqlclient15off: supplemental info 5.0.51a-24+lenny2

[Jort Koopmans]

Package: libmysqlclient15off
Version: 5.0.51a-24+lenny2
Followup-For: Bug #518477


Done some further investigation, using this small shell script;

------------
count=1
while true; do         
	echo '<?php echo "toto tata \n";' | php;         
	if [ $? -ne 0 ]; then   
		echo died after ${i:-0};        
		break; 
	else 
		i=$(expr ${i:-0} + 1);         
		shift
		echo $i
	fi; 
done
------------

I used 2 machines with the same *updated* version of lenny (stable) x64, 
both get segmentation faults running the above script with the 
5.0.51a-24+lenny2 version of libmysqlclient15off (albeit at very 
different loop numbers). 
When replacing the package with a 5.0.51a-24lenny1 
version, provided by Sean: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=493045#107 , the 
problem is instantly gone. However I've also tried to follow the 
(by Sven) suggested patch in this bugtracker, but have not succeeded 
because i can not find any 'mf_pack.c' file or 'tilde_expansion' 
function.

When I run:
echo "SELECT 'mysql ok'" | HOME='' mysql
it does give a 'Segmentation fault (core dumped)' message (therefore 
i'm posting this in this bugtracker)

For now i'm going to run the lenny1 version of this package, but 
hopefully someone can fix this problem...

Best regards,
Jort
