Yes. Don't use mysql 3.23.49. That has a segv bug precisely with
the way that gnunetd connects to it. And let me stress that
its a bug of mysql, and not gnunetd. It can be solved by using
either earlier or later version of mysql.

Personally I think it especially unfortunate that 3.23.49 is
the version bundled with several distros.
