in other news, you dont need to dump + reload when you move from mysql-4 to mysql-5, just service mysqld stop; yum update mysql*; /usr/bin/mysql_upgrade ; service mysqld start

i am changing the actual box so i have to dump and then import as i am also moving from centos4 to 5 -

rsync or tar the /var/lib/mysql dir up and move that. I am guessing in this case that some delimiter is breaking or the dump you did wasent clean.

Alternatively if you did use complete-inserts in your dump, you can run the load with : mysql -f db_name < blah.sql ; then look at what lines the load breaks on and make sure the data looks sane in those lines.
