I believe that Microsoft changed how memory allocation works in one of the higher-numbered service packs (5 or 6) for NT 4. I get a GPF in mysqld.exe (or mysqld-nt.exe) when I do a query that uses a 'where' clause.

Setup: Win32 NT4 service pack 6 (PIII, 128MB) mysqld Ver 3.23.5-alpha-debug for Win95/Win98 on i586 with --standalone --console flags. (this also happened with the mysqld-shareware.exe for win32, same setup; when run as a service, the service hangs indefinitely and I must restart to kill mysqld).

I can connect to a database (in my case, SAGIAN) and select * from people; works just fine. select * from people where login='sherritp'; does not work, It crashes the server.

4 included files (forgive the small attachment): bug-report.txt mysql session showing input bug-report-server.txt mysqld console log mysql_gpf.gif screen shot of GPF dialog mysql.err log file with function call info generated from mysqld-shareware.exe

This functionality is important to me, as I have a working Linux-based site (PTS, a PHP-based problem tracking system; up 2 years and running!) and need win32 support so I can work on my machine at home away from the network.

At first I thought it was something with the shareware version, so I purchased a license 1 day into my trial period. I hope this can be resolved quickly. If you need more input, please let me know how to generate a detailed log file from the server.
