Comment 1 for bug 1035245

Hi,

You mentioned that "innodb doesn't work by default", but that's only because you didn't add it to your configure options, you should have run it with --with-plugins=xtradb .
Could you please try and see whether you are also having the same problem when xtradb is built in statically?

That said, I've built 5.2.12 with the same exact configure options as you mentioned, and started it presumably the same way, and didn't have a problem with CPU; but I have a different version of gcc and ubuntu instead of debian, so it's not a clean experiment of course.

Does the same happen if you run a binary distribution, e.g. from a binary tarball?

If it does, we can probably rule out the compiler version or options.

Thanks.
