Create Table Partition By xx - causes hung client.

[J Jorgenson]

Just installed 5.1.6 onto WinXP workstation to research partition tables for my employer. (mysqld-nt.exe == 5.1.6-alpha-nt-max)

Problem: When trying to create a partitioned table, mysql client apps HANG (Browser & cmd line) waiting for a response from the (local) server.

SHOW VARAIBLES like '%partition%';
have_partitioning = YES

CREATE TABLE t (
id INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
seg INT NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
KEY(id))
PARTITION BY HASH(seg)
PARTITIONS 10;


I've tried various other formats & types just to create 1 partitioned table.
PARTITION BY LIST(seg) VALUES IN (1,2,etc...),
PARTITION BY KEY(id),
PARTITION BY....
(I've got no issues when creating 'normal' tables).

I've also tried creating a basic table.. no problem.
Followed by an ALTER TABLE PARTITION BY xxxx....
no response.


Could it be a config issue?
.EXE Build issue?

Anyone have any ideas?
