[ANSS-netops] Best Practical "Request Tracker (RT) Job Tickets

[mwithers at memphis.edu]

Installing a 32 bit version of mysql did the trick.  There is no solaris
sparc binary available for the current release (5.5.23) but I found that
there was a 32-bit pkg for solaris 10 available from mysql.com (5.1.62) that
was slightly more recent than the one on sunfreeware (5.0.67).  I'm far too
lazy to read the release notes to find out how much difference it makes.
