  Make InnoDB to restore old active_index value after a table scan: MySQL may assume that a scan does NOT change active_index; this partially fixes bug 241 of UPDATE ... ORDER BY ... but it still remains that MySQL actually ignores the ORDER BY for both MyISAM and InnoDB tables

  Use fflush to make sure report of a corrupt log record is printed to .err log before mysqld crashes
