Octave,

one of my collegues had a server which occasionally crashed at night with
mysql taking all the memory. I think it was with an old 2.4.18 kernel. He
finally reinstalled all the machine and it never happened anymore. So
eventhough it works for you with 2.4.22, perhaps 2.4.23 triggers a mysql
bug which is fixed in more recent releases ?

Cheers,
Willy
