Hallo Gerrit,

Thanks for your help. I would like to ask you a few questions:

1) If I use your mysql-4.0.17 libraries, that is if I link my code 
against your libmysqlclient.a
then my code works OK. On the other hand, then it requires 
cygmysqlclient.dll also: what is
that library exactly? Is it the equivalent of mySQL.dll which is 
included in the mysql for windows?

2) I have now identified the bug, or at least what causes it: here is 
small example that
crashes when using cygwin-1-5-7.1, MYSQL 4.0.18 and GCC3.3.1 (G++):

#include <mysql.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Connection{
   MYSQL* mqlh;
public:
 Connection(){
   mqlh = mysql_init( NULL );
   cout << "OK" << endl;
 }
};

int main( int argc, char** args ){
   Connection* con = new Connection();
   // crashes here
}

As you can see, it seems that something is really wrong. It seems to be 
caused by new()
since removing the mysql_init() from the new() call seems to work.
I have to mention that I link only against -lmySQL which is provided in 
the mysql for
windows distro. Maybe that is the problem (i.e. it was build from older 
cygwin releases)

As I would like to ship a "clean" version, I don't know what to do. 
Normally, people
would install mysql-for-win, then install my code plus just the cygwin DLL.

Regards,
Fabrice
