  fix for cast( AS DATETIME) + 0 operation.
  I just implemented Item_datetime_typecast::val() method
  as it is usually done in other classes.
  Should be fixed more radically in 5.0

- Problem: data separators were copied to a fixed-size buffer
  on the stack; memcpy was used, without bounds checking; a
  server crash could result if long FIELDS ENCLOSED BY, etc.,
  was given
- Fix: write the separators directly, instead of copying to
  a buffer first (in select_export::send_data())

TABLE ... WRITE".

CPU hogging occured when connection which had to wait for table lock was
serviced by thread which previously serviced connection that was killed
(note that connections can reuse threads if thread cache is enabled).
One possible scenario which exposed this problem was when thread which
provided binlog dump to replication slave was implicitly/automatically
killed when the same slave reconnected and started pulling data through
different thread/connection.
In 5.* versions memory hogging was added to CPU hogging. Moreover in
those versions the problem also occured when one killed particular query
in connection (using KILL QUERY) and later this connection had to wait for
some table lock.

This problem was caused by the fact that thread-specific mysys_var::abort
variable, which indicates that waiting operations on mysys layer should
be aborted (this includes waiting for table locks), was set by kill
operation but was never reset back. So this value was "inherited" by the
following statements or even other connections (which reused the same
physical thread). Such discrepancy between this variable and THD::killed
flag broke logic on SQL-layer and caused CPU and memory hogging.

This patch tries to fix this problem by properly resetting this member.

There is no test-case associated with this patch since it is hard to test
for memory/CPU hogging conditions in our test-suite.

            differences in tables
Certain merge tables were wrongly reported as having incorrect definition:
- Some fields that are 1 byte long (e.g. TINYINT, CHAR(1)), might
  be internally casted (in certain cases) to a different type on a
  storage engine layer. (affects 4.1 and up)
- If tables in a merge (and a MERGE table itself) had short VARCHAR column (less
  than 4 bytes) and at least one (but not all) tables were ALTER'ed (even to an
  identical table: ALTER TABLE xxx ENGINE=yyy), table definitions went ouf of
  sync. (affects 4.1 only)

This is fixed by relaxing a check for underlying conformance and setting
field type to FIELD_TYPE_STRING in case varchar is shorter than 4
when a table is created.

          incorrect key file for table

In certain cases it could happen that deleting a row could
corrupt an RTREE index.

According to Guttman's algorithm, page underflow is handled
by storing the page in a list for later re-insertion. The
keys from the stored pages have to be inserted into the
remaining pages of the same level of the tree. Hence the
level number is stored in the re-insertion list together
with the page.

In the MySQL RTree implementation the level counts from zero
at the root page, increasing numbers for levels down the tree.

If during re-insertion of the keys the tree height grows, all
level numbers become invalid. The remaining keys will be
inserted at the wrong level.

The fix is to increment the level numbers stored in the
reinsert list after a split of the root block during reinsertion.

Using INSERT DELAYED on MERGE tables could lead to table
corruptions.

The manual lists a couple of storage engines, which can be
used with INSERT DELAYED. MERGE is not in this list.

The attempt to try it anyway has not been rejected yet.
This bug was not detected earlier as it can work under
special circumstances. Most notable is low concurrency.

To be safe, this patch rejects any attempt to use INSERT
DELAYED on MERGE tables.
