Hi Kelly!

Truth is, I am at a new place and my Linux machines have not arrived yet.

Still, I do have google.

Searching "MySQL Administrator Kwin" yeilds references such as:

http://archives.mandrivalinux.com/cooker/2007-03/msg04995.php

so, a search on "Linux sigsegv signal" yeilds the definition:

 SIGSEGV	    11	     Core    Invalid memory reference

This is perhaps a bit presumptive but I think I would:

1. Update MySQL and Linux as much as possible.
2. Consider purchasing more memory (some overlap problems may not
occure if there is a lot of memory and more memory will probably make
you happier anyway).
3. Consider fileing a  bug report.  In this process you will probably
find your  bug already reported and if so you can follow the progress
on the bug.

Good Hunting!
