I'm coming in late on this thread, but one thing I have not seen
mentioned is what version of the mysql libs were used.  When compiling
php, you have the option of linking against php's built in mysql libs,
or the system libs (--with-mysql=/some/path).  If you have the option to
rebuild php, try doing so with the system libraries.
