instead of Log_event::Log_event(THD*, ...) when the event is built in the master
to be written in the binlog.
Rand_log_event already used the good constructor, so there really is no reason
for Intvar_log_event to be an exception.
This fixes a test failure of last night (which appeared after I removed a useless
e.server_id=thd->server_id in log.cc; in fact this line was not useless because
it hid the bad constructor).
Replication tests pass, with Valgrind too.

It happens that mysql->client_next->client_next=mysql
and mysql_close() goes into infinite loop.

The right way to fix this is to change the Field::store(longlong) method to be
Field::store(longlong, bool unsigned_flag), but this is better to do in 4.1 than in 4.0

    "CHANGE MASTER makes SQL thread restart from coordinates of I/O thread".
    So, in CHANGE MASTER:
    when it seems reasonable that the user did not want to discontinue
    its replication (i.e. when he is not specifying host or port or master_log_file
    or master_log_pos; this will be documented), set the coordinates of the
    I/O thread to those of the SQL thread. This way, the SQL thread will see
    no discontinuity in the relay log (i.e. will skip no events), because
    the I/O thread will fill the brand new relay log with the events which
    are just after the position where the SQL thread had stopped
    (before CHANGE MASTER was issued).
    And a new test for this bug.

  Now, after CHANGE MASTER the coordinates of the I/O thread are the last ones of the SQL thread, so result update.
