I don't really need MySQL on the Alpha, because it works ok our
FreeBSD/i386 server, but on the Alpha the connection to the database is
dropped when I use a SELECT statement with SUM in it. Earlier today I
got a floating point exception as error, but I haven't been able to
reproduce it, now all I get is "Lost connection to MySQL server during
query". The machine is a 3000/400, running NetBSD-current. MySQL is from
the ports collection. 

I don't know whether anybody else has had the same problem, but it has
kept me from seriously using MySQL with NetBSD/alpha.
