Though this warning might sound clear (MySQL 3.x is indeed a MySQL 
version below 4.0.18), it's still not clear to me, if 3.x is really 
affected.
Jan-Hendrick reported a running TYPO3 3.7 on a MySQL 3.x. (see the 
announcement thread in yesturdays crossposting party in the NG ;-)
Of course this doesn't prove anything.

I know, this sounds dumb, but anyway, this is what I decided to do... 
wait for sarge to become stable.

Feel free to install a backport of MySQL 4.0
You can get version 4.0.20 at
http://www.backports.org

But maybe Michael can enlighten us: Does this affect only MySQL 4.x or 
all 3.x versions?
