I don't have anything useful to say to that. I can't explain it. I  
upgraded just fine on my PowerBook G4.

I wouldn't have expected that, but then again I've never used Ruby.  
I've used PHP, which is compiled with MySQL support, and the  
expectation there would be that PHP was compiled with the MySQL  
5.0.22 libraries, and updating to MySQL 5.0.24 does not pose a  
problem for this. PHP remains compiled against the 5.0.22 libraries,  
but these should be able to access a 5.0.24 server with no difficulties.
