Description:
------------
There were some crashes with 5.2.4 when using pdo, so i've tried out 5.2.5 that seems to have fixed this crashes.
Just to make sure there was no problem, i've tried to valgrind the command line program on a simple script using pdo.
There are a few memory errors (this can make crashes occur).
Note that the leaks are due to the kernel 2.4 threads (so, ignore them).


Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php

$dbh = new PDO('mysql:host=host;dbname=db', 'user', 'pass', array(PDO::ATTR_PERSISTENT => true));

?>


Expected result:
----------------
No memory errors

Actual result:
--------------
Valgrind's output

I've tried to replicate the problem, but for me valgrind reports no 
errors.
 [2007-11-22 15:20 UTC] poletto at jeuxvideo dot com 
Same problem... Maybe a problem inside libmysqlclient?

It could be libmysqlclient related as you had suggested, can you try a 
different version perhaps?
 [2007-11-22 17:09 UTC] poletto at jeuxvideo dot com 
I can't try another version of mysql on this server.
I noticed there was no error when removing the persistant connection
 [2008-07-03 17:02 UTC] uw@php.net 
Can't reproduce with 5.3 CVS, PDO_MYSQLND and MySQL 5.0.51b-debug Source distribution. No matter if I use mysqlnd or libmysql.

I haven't check PDO_MYSQL any more.

However, PDOs management of persistent connections seems to be not perfect. I know of such an error:
