- Before sending EOF, check if we've already sent an error.

is used causes server crash.
  Revert the fix : unstable test case revealed by pushbuild

more clever gcc version checking.

Tilde expansion could fail when it was to expand to an empty string (such as
when HOME is set to an empty string), especially on systems where size_t is
unsigned.

plugin init function fails

Problem: if an INFORMATION_SCHEMA plugin initialization fails
we free some inner plugin's data (schema_table) twice during the 
INSTALL PLUGIN command.

Fix: free it once.

Length value is the length of the field,
Max_length is the length of the field value.
So Max_length can not be more than Length.
The fix: fixed calculation of the Item_empty_string item length

(Patch applied and queued on demand of Trudy/Davi.)

When the fractional part in a multiplication of DECIMALs
overflowed, we truncated the first operand rather than the
longest. Now truncating least significant places instead
for more precise multiplications.

(Queuing at demand of Trudy/Davi.)

Due to unknown changes the test failed in some ways.

Fixed by checking the test case in detail, commenting the expected behavior,
and fixing error directives.

In the course of the analyze unneeded get_lock()/release_lock() use,
unneeded send/reap use, and unneeded sleeps were removed. The lock wait
timeout was reduced to 1 second, so that this is no big-test any more.

The test was split into two parts, one running the tests with
--innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog, the other part without.
The main part (include/concurrent.inc) conditionally expects
lock wait timeouts based on the value of the system variable
innodb_locks_unsafe_for_binlog.

The major part of the patch comes from Kristofer Pettersson.

	update accross partitions.
      
It's not Innodb-specific bug.
ha_partition::update_row() didn't set
table->timestamp_field_type= TIMESTAMP_NO_AUTO_SET when
orig_timestamp_type == TIMESTAMP_AUTO_SET_ON_INSERT.

So that a partition sets the timestamp field when a record
is moved to a different partition.

Fixed by doing '= TIMESTAMP_NO_AUTO_SET' unconditionally.
Also ha_partition::write_row() is fixed in same way as now
Field_timestamp::set() is called twice in SET_ON_INSERT case.

Fix for a valgrind warning due to a jump on a uninitialized
variable. The problem was that the sql profile preparation
function wasn't being called for all possible code paths
of query execution.

The solution is to ensure that query profiling is always
started before dispatch_command function is called and to
explicitly call the profile preparation function on bootstrap.

The problem:
CSV storage engine open function returns success even
thought it failed to open the data file
The fix:
return error
Additional fixes:
added MY_WME to my_open to avoid mysterious error message
free share struct if open the file was unsuccessful

with blobs containing nulls

Problem: FEDERATED SE improperly stores NULL fields in the record buffer.

Fix: store them properly.

Problem: missed "break" in a switch leads to unexpected assertion failure
of 'myisamchk compressed_table'.

Fix: add the break.

Problem: REGEXP in functions/PSs may return wrong results
due to improper initialization.

Fix: initialize required REGEXP params.

The problem was because the event allocated in mysql_client_binlog_statement
was not freed when an error occured while applying the event.
