Has Cobalt released a StackGuard compiler patch? I thought all these
servers were up-to-date on Cobalt patches. Or did you build that by
hand or from another source? Can you point me to that?

This is absolutely contrary to my experience. MySQL 3.22 server would
never work with MySQL 3.23 libraries. I have always ended up building
PHP with the installed MySQL library because there have been
significant problems that seem to show that the client versions (even
within the 3.23.xx set) are not compatible with different version
servers.

OTOH, maybe PHP has improved their distributed client since the last
time I tried this. After all they just bundled gd and made it very
friendly.

Likely I will be doing the same here.
