MySQL initenv crash

[CNU]

I'm using Gentoo. trac worked nice with sqlite, just wanted to try MySQL too. I created user/database with phpmyadmin first. I can see one table called "system" in the database with two fields: name and value. It's probably me doing something wrong, because I'm not good with Linux

root # mysql --version
mysql  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.26, for pc-linux-gnu (i686) using readline 5.1

root # trac-admin /var/lib/trac/cnuBlah initenv
Creating a new Trac environment at /var/lib/trac/cnuBlah

Trac will first ask a few questions about your environment
in order to initalize and prepare the project database.

 Please enter the name of your project.
 This name will be used in page titles and descriptions.

Project Name [My Project]> cnuBlah

 Please specify the connection string for the database to use.
 By default, a local SQLite database is created in the environment
 directory. It is also possible to use an already existing
 PostgreSQL database (check the Trac documentation for the exact
 connection string syntax).

Database connection string [sqlite:db/trac.db]> mysql://trac:****************@127.0.0.1/trac

 Please specify the type of version control system,
 By default, it will be svn.

 If you don't want to use Trac with version control integration,
 choose the default here and don't specify a repository directory.
 in the next question.

Repository type [svn]>

 Please specify the absolute path to the version control
 repository, or leave it blank to use Trac without a repository.
 You can also set the repository location later.

Path to repository [/path/to/repos]> /var/svn/repos

 Please enter location of Trac page templates.
 Default is the location of the site-wide templates installed with Trac.

Templates directory [/usr/share/trac/templates]>
