One-line fix for bug 576 (DBUG_ASSERT failure when using CHANGE MASTER TO RELAY_LOG_POS=4).

Plus a changeset which I had committed but forgot to push (and this changeset is lost on
another computer, so I recreate it here). This changeset is "user-friendly SHOW BINLOG EVENTS
and CHANGE MASTER TO when log positions < 4 are used.
