    1 if the return type is int or int_fast8_t.  The test case that showed
    this problem is rpl000001 and the tested version was MySQL 5.0.2.  The
    compiler with the problem is GCC 3.0.4 runing on "Linux bitch 2.4.18

    By changing the return type to bool the problem disappear.  (Another
    way to make the problem disappear is to simply print the returned
    value with printf("%d",?).  The printed returned value is always 0 in
    the test cases I have run.)  This is only a partial solution to the
    problem, since someone could later change the return type of the
    function back to int or some other type that does not work.
