When the client program had its stdout file descriptor closed by the calling
shell, after some amount of work (enough to fill a socket buffer) the server 
would complain about a packet error and then disconnect the client.

This is a serious security problem.  If stdout is closed before the mysql is
exec()d, then the first socket() call allocates file number 1 to communicate
with the server.  Subsequent write()s to that file number (as when printing
results that come back from the database) go back to the server instead in 
the command channel.  So, one should be able to craft data which, upon being
selected back from the server to the client, and injected into the command
stream become valid MySQL protocol to do something nasty when sent /back/ to 
the server.

The solution is to close explicitly the file descriptor that we *printf() to, 
so that the libc layer and the OS layer both agree that the file is closed.

strcmp -> strncmp

Improve sort algorithm for reorder, all test with smae name except for ending digit should be run after each other. 
Example of that is ndb_autodiscover[1-3]

Two implementations of "get_err_code_from_name", one use if mysqld_ername.h is available and oe if it's not
Declare "to_ptr" first in block 

Fix problem with specifying vardir, mysql_version_id was not yet available when vardir arguments is checked
Move the code to look for exe_mysqld earlier => to initial_setup
Fix warnings detected by running with "diagnostics"
Remove unused option "opt_result_ext"
Init "path_ndb_examples_dir"

the "mysqld --version" command will print "/path/.libs/lt-mysqld  Ver x.x.x"

Improve 'run_testcase_need_slave_restart' to detect if a slave restart really is necessary. 
So far all rpl test requires a slave restart, but for all other tests it can be skipped
Improve the sort order used by --reorder

Move call f dunction into "initialize_servers" so it's called also
in stress and bench mode

Cleanup .progress, .reject, .log and .warnings files produced by mysqltest

creating an environment variable is handled directly from the perl code.  

but having it on tmpfs gives a big speedup. 

- When --record is passed to mysqltest the whole testcase should be executed
as it normally is while the output form the test is acumulating
in ds_res. When test has finished ds_res should simply be written to the
specified result file(if any) instead of comapring it against the result file.
Simplify handling of --require and also the cecking of result files by splitting
check_result function into one  function 'check_require' that is specialised in
checking require's and leave 'check_result' to do just that.
- "mysqltest --record" has been considered unsafe, but with this really simple
logic, it should be safe to use.

from var/ to a tmpfs area and thereby speed up the execution of the testsuite
 significantly

Some variable names in 5.1 is soo long that there is no space inbetween 
name and value. Outputing a warning about it, as that should probably be fixed.
At least one space should be put between the name and value.

Improve check of wheter test case need slave cluster

Set the environment variable NDB_STATUS_OK to indicate that cluster is installed ok. This is actually not needed for this script as it will
skip ndb tests if cluster install failed. But provided for compatibility

I.e take advantage of the fact that a # comment is always terminated by a new line 
Add tests for the above

Fix detection of debug binaries. If mysqld ouputs "debug xx" in the variable list it's a debug binary

 - add missing DBUG_RETURN
 - Change type of st_error->code to uint, that should be more than enough
   to hold the error numbers between 1000 and around 2000
