[debian-mysql] Version of libmariadb2 in stretch has a serious bug

[Nils Rennebarth]

Hi,

The version 2.3.2 of mariadb-connector-c in debian stretch has a known
and rather severe bug: When an interrupt is received by a client program
when it just issued a mysql request, the library (and thus the program)
hangs in a tight loop with 100% CPU.

Reason is the following line in violite.c:

249    do {
 250     rc= poll(&p_fd, 1, timeout);
    } while (rc == -1 || errno == EINTR);
