Has anyone tried DBD::mysql on perl 5.8 with ithreads enabled? It seems
there is a problem somewhere, if anyone else has experienced this, and
possibly has a solution, it would be nice to know, otherwise, let me
know, and I will give you all the details.

Most modules involving C are unlikely to work right off the bat with
ithreads. In fact, a lot of pure Perl modules won't work with ithreads
either.

Unless you see a note in a changelog for a module saying "works with
ithreads now" then you can probably assume it doesn't. And of course
there are multiple levels of "works" (thread-safe vs. thread-friendly).
