Null varchar storage requirement

I know with MySQL 5.0, ndb tables do not correctly support var chars and that they are treated as a char in terms of the storage requirement, but what happens if a field is set to NULL - does this still take up the full length of the varchar?

Yes.

Possible bug with upgrading to latest 5.0.24 rpms

I wrote an e-mail to list last week detailing the the problems I had upgrading to the latest 5.0.24 rpms (from 5.0.21), but I didn't get that many replies... has anyone else successfully upgraded to this version? and if so, can anyone tell me the steps they took to do it?

perhaps not many people here use the same RPMs as you.... i know i don't (Debian and derivatives all the way here)
