When I run rake db:migrate I get this error at the end.

Error in my\_thread\_global\_end(): 1 threads didn’t exit

I pinned it down to this code which is in 004\_create\_permissions.rb.

```
# create admin user
user = User.new
user.login = 'admin'
user.password = 'password'
user.save(false)

```

If I don’t run user.save(false) I don’t get the error. I am not sure  
why, the user does get saved properly to the database.

Any help would be appreciated.

## Thanks,

Frank K.

Hi Frank K.!. I had similar problem ( my config: “mysql Ver 14.12  
Distrib 5.0.46, for Win32”). I found an answer here  
[http://lists.mysql.com/commits/25160](http://lists.mysql.com/commits/25160) After update to “mysql Ver 14.12  
Distrib 5.0.51b, for Win32 (ia32)” a problem disappeared. Try to update  
your msql, I hope it will help you.
