According to the patches I would assume that this only affects people
using the NDB cluster engine but from your notes I would think that
even my old MyISAM tables are affected.

I do have *.MYD files as big as 15GB on a 32bit system and guess
that I'm not the only one.

Could you clarify that on the next release notes?
