In the code that converts IN predicates to EXISTS predicates it is changing
the select list elements to constant 1. Example :
SELECT ... FROM ...  WHERE a IN (SELECT c FROM ...)
is transformed to :
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM ...  HAVING a = c)
However there can be no FROM clause in the IN subquery and it may not be
a simple select : SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE a IN (SELECT f(..) AS
c UNION SELECT ...) This query is transformed to : SELECT ... FROM ...
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM (SELECT f(..) AS c UNION SELECT ...)
x HAVING a = c) In the above query c in the HAVING clause is made to be
an Item_null_helper (a subclass of Item_ref) pointing to the real
Item_field (which is not referenced anywhere else in the query anymore).
This is done because Item_ref_null_helper collects information whether
there are NULL values in the result.  This is OK for directly executed
statements, because the Item_field pointed by the Item_null_helper is
already fixed when the transformation is done.  But when executed as
a prepared statement all the Item instances are "un-fixed" before the
recompilation of the prepared statement. So when the Item_null_helper
gets fixed it discovers that the Item_field it points to is not fixed
and issues an error.  The remedy is to keep the original select list
references when there are no tables in the FROM clause. So the above
becomes : SELECT ... FROM ...  WHERE EXISTS (SELECT c FROM (SELECT f(..)
AS c UNION SELECT ...) x HAVING a = c) In this way c is referenced
directly in the select list as well as by reference in the HAVING
clause. So it gets correctly fixed even with prepared statements.  And
since the Item_null_helper subclass of Item_ref_null_helper is not used
anywhere else it's taken out.

Another changeset is going to push into 5. 

  Backporting a changeset made for 5.0. Comments from there:

  The fix refines the algorithm of generating DROPs for binlog.
  Temp tables with common pseudo_thread_id are clustered into one query.
  Consequently one replication event per pseudo_thread_id is generated.

The bug caused wrong result sets for union constructs of the form
(SELECT ... ORDER BY order_list1 [LIMIT n]) ORDER BY order_list2.
For such queries order lists were concatenated and limit clause was
completely neglected. 

 Fix BUG#16814: "SHOW INNODB STATUS format error in LATEST FOREIGN KEY ERROR section"
     Add a missing newline to the LAST FOREIGN KEY ERROR section in SHOW INNODB STATUS
     output.
 Fix BUG#18934: "InnoDB crashes when table uses column names like DB_ROW_ID".
     Refuse tables that use reserved column names.

  Clean up test case for bug#14169

Temporarily commented out a query from the test case for bug 14169 to make it pass with --ps-protocol.

  Corrected test case for the bug#14169 to make it pass in --ps-protocol mode.

After a locking error the open table(s) were not fully
cleaned up for reuse. But they were put into the open table
cache even before the lock was tried. The next statement
reused the table(s) with a wrong lock type set up. This
tricked MyISAM into believing that it don't need to update
the table statistics. Hence CHECK TABLE reported a mismatch
of record count and table size.

Fortunately nothing worse has been detected yet. The effect
of the test case was that the insert worked on a read locked
table. (!)

I added a new function that clears the lock type from all
tables that were prepared for a lock. I call this function
when a lock failes.

No test case. One test would add 50 seconds to the
test suite. Another test requires file mode modifications.
I added a test script to the bug report. It contains three
cases for failing locks. All could reproduce a table
corruption. All are fixed by this patch.

This bug was not lock timeout specific.

The bug caused a reported index corruption in the cases when
key_cache_block_size was not a multiple of myisam_block_size,
e.g. when key_cache_block_size=1536 while myisam_block_size=1024.
