            consider clustered primary keys

Choosing a shortest index for the covering index scan,
the optimizer ignored the fact, that the clustered primary
key read involves whole table data.

The find_shortest_key function has been modified to
take into account that fact that a clustered PK has a
longest key of possible covering indices.

 for ORDER BY on a TEXT or VARCHAR field" backported to 5.1.

If an outer query is broken, a subquery might not even get set up.
EXPLAIN EXTENDED did not expect this and merrily tried to de-ref all
of the half-setup info.

We now catch this case and print as much as we have, as it doesn't cost us
anything (doesn't make regular execution slower).

backport from 5.1

This patch fixes some typos and poorly formulated sentences in
the output from mysqld --help --verbose.

Some of the problems described in the bug report are already
handled by the patch for Bug#49447, and are therefore not
included in this patch.

START SLAVE UNTIL MASTER ... specifies only SQL thread to stop.
rpl_slave_skip erronously deployed waiting for stop of both threads.

Corrected with deploying the correct macro.
Notice, earlier a similar bug@47749 was fixed in mysql-trunk.

Now that Oracle has legally acquired Sun, change the copyright owner
and the vendor.

for same data when using bit fields

Problem: checksum for BIT fields may be computed incorrectly 
in some cases due to its storage peculiarity.

Fix: convert a BIT field to a string then calculate its checksum.

disabling the test to not run on PB

POSIX standard, reinitialization of a pthread_once is a gray
area, but it is needed to support subsequent initializations
of the client library.

A client doing multiple mysql_library_init() and
mysql_library_end() calls over the lifetime of the process may
experience lost character set data, potentially even a
SIGSEGV.

This patch reinstates the reloading of character set data when
a mysql_library_init() is done after a mysql_library_end().

Item_field::print method does not take into
account fields whose values may be null.
The fix is to print 'NULL' if field value is null.
