Is recompiling the native MySQL driver a necessary step? Mine _seems_  
to be working OK, even though I didn’t recompile… but now you are  
worrying me!!

It might not be necessary. It might be. I’m paraniod and recompile the  
native stuff (mysql, sqlite3, ruby\_fcgi, etc) for each release of Ruby  
just to be sure. Nothing like a miserable non-deterministic problem to  
make your 4AM problems that much worse.
