Sorry Tamal. You're absolutely right. I obviously didn't test that  
change very well. Thank you for noticing and reporting it.

I've updated the portfile to fix this in r28894, and believe I have  
tested that it works this time.

You should be able to "port sync" within about half an hour, and then  
"sudo port install mysql5 +server" to get version 5.0.45_3. If you  
still see problems with that version, please do report them. Thanks.
