I've repeated the process using PS 5.5.16-55 (binary package for Debian Squeeze) and XB 2.0.3. I've loaded 1 warehouse. This is the crash I get when I try to select the table order_line (other tables seems to work): 121126 13:44:31 - mysqld got signal 6 ; This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built, or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware. We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong and this may fail. key_buffer_size=16777216 read_buffer_size=131072 max_used_connections=1 max_threads=151 thread_count=1 connection_count=1 It is possible that mysqld could use up to key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 346766 K bytes of memory Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.
