[debian-mysql] Bug#515143: Race condition in libmysqlclient15_r

[sean finney]

hi martin,

thanks for digging this up!  these crashes have been really difficult to
investigate on the php-side of things.  

we are so ridiculously close to releasing that i don't think it's possible
to get a fix for this into lenny before that happens, but something like
this should definitely be fixed in lenny-proposed-updates and propagated
into the next release update.

i'm cc'ing the other bugs that you've referenced, which i'll keep seperate
for now until you can confirm the problem and fix.
