This is probably a signal handling problem in the thread library where the signal doesn't break a
pending read. This is supposed to be fixed in FreeBSD 5.0

The recommended way to compile and install MySQL on FreeBSD with

Be sure that your name resolver setup is correct. Otherwise, you may experience resolver delays or
failures when connecting to mysqld. Also make sure that the

FreeBSD limits the size of a process to 512MB, even if you have much more RAM available on the
system. So you may get an error such as this:
Out of memory (Needed 16391 bytes)
In current versions of FreeBSD (at least 4.x and greater), you may increase this limit by adding the
following entries to the

kern.dfldsiz="1073741824" # 1GB
kern.maxssiz="134217728" # 128MB
For older versions of FreeBSD, you must recompile your kernel to change the maximum data segment
size for a process. In this case, you should look at the
information.
