Hi!

If InnoDB only used 600 MB, but the total mysqld process size was 1.2 GB, then the MyISAM/sorting usage should have been 600 MB. Could this be possible due to sorting in many concurrent connections? 16 connections is not much.

You should lower the MyISAM key buffer size even more, and monitor SHOW PROCESSLIST.

If we do not find an explanation, this may be a memory leak on the MySQL side.

Regards,

Heikki

Eddie,

oops, I did not notice this:

>> Top shows mysql steadily consuming more resourses over a period of 2
>> hours, up to 1.2 Gb, before it crashes.

Please monitor also SHOW PROCESSLIST. Do connections pile up? Are they doing
sorting?
