problem with imp 2.2.1 and a mysql database

[Matthew M Carroll]

Last night my imp setup crashed, and while the database which is mysql
3.22 said it closed correctly, after reboot imp was unusable giving the
error message associated with a race condition under phplib and mysql.
What I did to fix this is I dumped the the active session table, really
deleted it . After this imp was usable again. My problem is now my users
cant get their contact info. If anyone has any ideas on what I should do 
as I am very new to mysql, any info would help. If I could just get their
contact info my plan is to then dump the database and migrate it to a
postgres installation so I don't have to worry about the race condition 
and perhaps get more stability.


Any info would be greatly appreciated,
