Hi Bernard,

Ugh.  I hate memory allocation bugs.

Is it reproducable? Can you run this through a debugger like GDB to find
out where we are when this happens?  A stack trace will be invaluable
because we need to know who to blame.  *grin* We need to know if it's
Python that's doing this, or if it's MySQLdb, or if it's something else
entirely...

Just checking up on this: what version of MySQLdb do you have on those
systems?  I do remember some ugly memory-leaking bugs that haunted ancient
versions of MySQLdb, so I want to make sure we're not hitting those.

Analyzing this might goes out of Tutor's scope, so you may want to bring
this up on a more general forum like comp.lang.python instead.

Best of wishes!
