Hello

There is a problem with the myslq_read_default_group function! It's DBI 1.21, DBD::MySQL 1.2216 and mysql-3.23.49, compiled on the very latest Debian unstable (I'm the mysql maintainer of Debian).

bye,

There is no section "ch" in /etc/mysql/my.cnf and no ~ch/.my.cnf. The same problem also occurs in mysqlhotcopy which looks for a section of this name.

$ cat t.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use DBI; $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:mysql:test:mysql_read_default_group=ch","ch","");

$ ./t.pl ... open("/etc/mysql/my.cnf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = 3 fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1892, ...}) = 0 old_mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x40026000 read(3, "# You can copy this to one of:\n#"..., 4096) = 1892 read(3, "", 4096) = 0 close(3) = 0 munmap(0x40026000, 4096) = 0 open("/var/lib/mysql/my.cnf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) open("/home/ch/.my.cnf", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++
