Certain fields in the protcol required a strict formatting. If
off bound values were sent to the server this could under some
circumstances lead to a crash on the Windows platform.

Automerged bzr bundle from bug report:

Fix for all "postion" in Oracle files (s/postion/position). 
Updated the copyright notices where needed.

WORK WITH --START-POSITION
      
If setting --start-position to start after the FD event, mysqlbinlog
will output an error stating that it has not found an FD event.
However, its not that mysqlbinlog does not find it but rather that it
does not processes it in the regular way (i.e., it does not print it).
Given that one is using --base64-output=DECODE-ROWS then not printing
it is actually fine.
      
To fix this, we make mysqlbinlog not to complain when it has not
printed the FD event, is outputing in base64, but is decoding the
rows.

patch so that it can later be compared with patchs with expanded symlinks 

The new --secure-file-priv checks dereference any symlinks in the paths and compare the 
resolved paths.
Thus the 5.0 test suite must do as the 5.1 and up and avoid using symlinks.

The query was re-written *after* we had tagged it with NON_AGG_FIELD_USED.
Remove the flag before continuing.

The problem was that wrong structure of mysql.event was not detected and
the server continued to use wrongly-structured data.

The fix is to check the structure of mysql.event after opening before
any use. That makes operations with events more strict -- some operations
that might work before throw errors now. That seems to be Ok.

Another side-effect of the patch is that if mysql.event is corrupted,
unrelated DROP DATABASE statements issue an SQL warning about inability
to open mysql.event table. 

                      .editrc on linux.

MySQL client when build with libedit support ignores
.editrc at startup.

The reason for this regression was the incluison of a
safety check, issetugid(), which is not available on
some linux platforms.

Fixed by adding an equivalent check for platforms which
have get[e][u|g]id() set of functions.

Add extra codes to wait_until_disconnected.inc that are present in 5.5,
but not in 5.1. The missing codes cause innodb_bug59641 to fail in 5.1 on
Windows PB2 runs. The addition of those codes in 5.5 was done in
luis.soares@sun.com-20090930233215-aup3kxy4j6ltvjfp

  USING '..' ON WINDOWS

Backport of the fix to 5.0 (to be null-merged to 5.1).
Moved the test into the main test suite. 
Made mysql-test-run.pl to not use symlinks for sdtdata as the symlinks
are now properly recognized by secure_file_priv.
Made sure the paths in load_file(), LOAD DATA and SELECT .. INTO OUTFILE 
that are checked against secure_file_priv in a correct way similarly to 5.1 
by the extended is_secure_file_path() backport before the comparison.
Added an extensive test with all the variants of upper/lower case, 
slash/backslash and case sensitivity.
Added few comments to the code.

Partitions can have different ref_length (position data length).
Removed DBUG_ASSERT which crashed debug builds when using
MAX_ROWS on some partitions.

               FAILS WITH LIBEDIT

Fixed by checking the return value of the write()
function calls and handling the open files and fd
appropriately.

calc_daynr() function returns negative result
if malformed date with zero year and month is used.
Attempt to calculate week day on negative value
leads to crash. The fix is return NULL for
'W', 'a', 'w' specifiers if zero year and month is used.
Additional fix for calc_daynr():
--added assertion that result can not be negative
--return 0 if zero year and month is used

Before sorting HAVING condition is split into two parts,
first part is a table related condition and the rest of is
HAVING part. Extraction of HAVING part does not take into account
the fact that some of conditions might be non-const but
have 'used_tables' == 0 (independent subqueries)
and because of that these conditions are cut off by
make_cond_for_table() function.
The fix is to use (table_map) 0 instead of used_tables in
third argument for make_cond_for_table() function.
It allows to extract elements which belong to sorted
table and in addition elements which are independend
subqueries.
