The --hexdump option crashed mysqlbinlog when used together  
with the --read-from-remote-server option due to use of  
uninitialized memory.  
  
Since Log_event::print_header() relies on temp_buf to be  
initialized when the --hexdump option is present,  
dump_remote_log_entries() was fixed to setup temp_buf to point  
to the start of a binlog event as done in  
dump_local_log_entries().  
 
The root cause of this bug is identical to the one for 
bug #17654. The latter was fixed in 5.1 and up, so this 
patch is backport of the patches for bug #17654 to 5.0. 
 
Only 5.0 needs a changelog entry. 

client/mysqlbinlog.cc:
  Fixed dump_remote_log_entries() so that temp_buf is initialized 
  as it may be used later by Log_event::print_header() if the 
  --hexdump option is present.
mysql-test/r/mysqlbinlog.result:
  Added a test case for bug #41943.

Multiple-table DELETE from a table joined to itself may cause
server crash. This was originally discovered with MEMORY engine,
but may affect other engines with different symptoms.

The problem was that the server violated SE API by performing
parallel table scan in one handler and removing records in
another (delete on the fly optimization).

EXPLAIN EXTENDED of nested query containing a error:

   1054 Unknown column '...' in 'field list'

may cause a server crash.


Parse error like described above forces a call to
JOIN::destroy() on malformed subquery.
That JOIN::destroy function closes and frees temporary
tables. However, temporary fields of these tables
may be listed in st_select_lex::group_list of outer
query, and that st_select_lex may not cleanup them
properly. So, after the JOIN::destroy call that
st_select_lex::group_list may have Item_field
objects with dangling pointers to freed temporary
table Field objects. That caused a crash.

the test for bug 37956 isn't relevant anymore.
The query there 'select point(?,?)' doesn't produce an error.

no conflicts

                  (moved from Bug 42308)

Details:
- insert_update
  Add DROP TABLE which was missing, error numbers -> names
- varbinary
  Add DROP TABLE which was missing
- sp_trans_log
  Add missing DROP function, improved formatting

      
Fixed a number of typos, and made punctuation and
capitalization more consistent in documentation
and help.

The issue of the current bug is unguarded access to mi->slave_running 
by the shutdown thread calling end_slave() that is bug#29968 
(alas happened not to be cross-linked with the current bug)

Fixed:

with removing the unguarded read of the running status
and perform reading it in terminate_slave_thread()
at time run_lock is taken (mostly bug#29968 backporting, still with some
improvements over that patch - see the error reporting from 
terminate_slave_thread()).
Issue of bug#38716 is fixed here for 5.0 branch as well.

Note:

There has been a separate artifact identified - 
a race condition between init_slave() and  end_slave() - 
reported as  Bug#44467.

sql/slave.h:
  removing terminate_slave_thread() out of the global interface scope.

   the Point() and Linestring() functions create WKB representation of an

   That produced bugs when these were inserted into tables.

Bug #40925: Equality propagation takes non indexed attribute

Query execution plans and execution time of queries like

  select a, b, c from t1
    where a > '2008-11-21' and b = a limit 10

depended on the order of equality operator parameters:
"b = a" and "a = b" are not same. 


An equality propagation algorithm has been fixed:
the substitute_for_best_equal_field function should not
substitute a field for an equal field if both fields belong
to the same table.

Turned off autocommit at the start of this test per Innobase recommendation.
Noted significant reduction in run time for this test w/ a minor increase in other tests' run-times.

                   for indexes of InnoDB table

Fixes by replacing the PRNG that is used to pick random pages with a 
better one. 

Also adds a configuration option "innodb_use_legacy_cardinality_algorithm"
to enable the fix only when the option is set.

Commit 55629 applied to 5.0-bugteam and 5.1-bugteam: 
Check for thd->killed in CHECKSUM loop.

mysqldump.test is designed to run with concurrent inserts
disabled. It is disabling concurrent inserts at the very
beginning of the test case, and re-enables them at the
bottom of the test. But for some reason (likely incorrect
merge) we enable concurrent inserts in the middle of the test.

The problem is fixed by enabling concurrent inserts only
at the bottom of the test case.

  to wrong results
      
3 problems found with DES_ENCRYPT/DES_DECRYPT :

1. The max length was not calculated properly. Fixed in fix_length_and_dec()
2. DES_ENCRYPT had a side effect of sometimes reallocating and changing 
the value of its argument. Fixed by explicitly pre-allocating the necessary
space to pad the argument with trailing '*' (stars) when calculating the 
DES digest.
3. in DES_ENCRYPT the string buffer for the result value was not 
reallocated to the correct size and only string length was assigned to it. 
Fixed by making sure there's enough space to hold the result.

information schema tables are based on internal tmp tables which are removed
after each statement execution. So HANDLER comands can not be used with
information schema.

Streamlined how we increase the size of our test table.
The new method shows run time decreased by ~60%.
This is not a guarantee that we will not see test timeouts (the random failures noted in the bug),
but it should significantly reduce the chances of this occurring.

fixed message for 'help' command


client/mysql.cc:
  fixed message for 'help' command

routine does not exist 
      
There is an inconsistency with DROP DATABASE IF EXISTS, DROP TABLE IF
EXISTS and DROP VIEW IF EXISTS: those are binlogged even if the DB or
TABLE does not exist, whereas DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS does not. It
would be nice or at least consistent if DROP PROCEDURE/STATEMENT
worked the same too.
      
Fixed DROP PROCEDURE|FUNCTION IF EXISTS by adding a call to
mysql_bin_log.write in mysql_execute_command. Checked also if all 
documented "DROP (...) IF EXISTS" get binlogged.
      
NOTE: This is a 5.0 backport patch as requested by support.

mysql-test/r/rpl_drop_if_exists.result:
  Result file for test case added.
mysql-test/r/rpl_sp.result:

sql/sql_parse.cc:
  Added call mysql_bin_log.write when lex has drop_if_exists enabled for 
  stored procedures.

The crash happens due to wrong 'digits' variable value(0),
'digits' can not be 0, so the fix is use 1 as min allowed value.
