Mysql memory leak on hpux 11.23

[lcleng]

Hi,
I got the following error messages while connect to mysql4.1.17 on hpux 11.23, around 3000 processes, see below:

Mysql connect('database=user;host=enghp2','root',...) failed: Can't create a new thread (errno 11); if you are not out of available memory,
you can consult the manual for a possible OS-dependent bug at ./testconn.pl line 19

I have been adjust the max open files limit of mysql and kernel:
mysql> show variables like "open%";

This is EAGAIN 11 No more processes

You need to increase nproc or maxuprc.
What are their values?
Doing "kcusage nproc" would be helpful.
And possibly nkthread.
