Don't do this for echo, instead:
    1) Enable replacements also for assignment from backquoted SQL
    2) Allow replace_regex to take a variable for the *entire* argument list
  
    With this, the test can be amended, but only in its version in trunk

  Simplified fix avoiding changes to mysys:
  Use the MY_HOLD_ORIGINAL_MODES flag when calling my_copy(),
    this also stops it from attempting to chown() the file.
  Yes this behavior is a bit confusing....
  The only case this might change the behavior is if the destination file
    exists, but since we also use MY_DONT_OVERWRITE_FILE, it would fail
    in those cases anyway.

and query_cache don't play along nicely.

An alternative for RENAME DATABSE using RENAME TABLE has been used to implement this.

Parts of index_merge_innodb were disabled.These have been enabled with a few changes 
and the test is being made experimental to study it's behaviour.

Also fixed possibly uninitialized use of need_copy_table_res.

post-push fixes for show_slave_io_error= 1 of wait_for_slave_io_error.inc;
Unix and win format path specifically so few tests have to change show_slave_io_error
to zero.

The bug case is similar to one fixed earlier bug_49536.
Deadlock involving LOCK_log appears to be possible because the purge running thread
is holding LOCK_log whereas there is no sense of doing that and which fact was
exploited by the earlier bug fixes.

Fixed with small reengineering of rotate_and_purge(), adding two new methods and
setting up a policy to execute those instead of the former
rotate_and_purge(RP_LOCK_LOG_IS_ALREADY_LOCKED).
The policy for using rotate(), purge() is that if the caller acquires LOCK_log itself,
it should call rotate(), release the mutex and run purge().

Side effect of this patch is refining error message of bug@11747416 to print
the whole path.

row_rename_table_for_mysql(): Return DB_ERROR instead of DB_SUCCESS
when fil_rename_tablespace() returns an error. This bug was introduced
in the InnoDB Plugin.

NEW_FRM_MEM WITHOUT NEEDING TO".

During the process of opening tables for a statement, we allocated
memory which was used only during view loading even in cases when the
statement didn't use any views. Such an unnecessary allocation (and
corresponding freeing) might have caused significant performance
overhead in some workloads. For example, it caused up to 15% slowdown
in a simple stored routine calculating Fibonacci's numbers.

This memory was pre-allocated as part of "new_frm_mem" MEM_ROOT
initialization at the beginning of open_tables(). 

This patch addresses this issue by turning off memory pre-allocation
during initialization for this MEM_ROOT. Now, memory on this root
will be allocated only at the point when the first .FRM for a view is 
opened.

The patch doesn't contain a test case since it is hard to test the
performance improvements or the absence of memory allocation in our
test framework.

                      TESTS: CRASH, CORRUPTION, 4G MEMOR

Issue: Valgrind errors due to checksum and optimize
       query against archive tables with null columns.
       Table record buffer was not initialized.

Solution: Initialize the record buffer.

             BREAKS SOURCE RELEASE BUILD

Some of the required files were not getting copied while
performing 'make dist' and hence the build failed for
the created distribution source.

Added the missing files to Makefile.am.

btr_record_not_null_field_in_rec(): Remove the parameter rec.

               USING MYISAM_USE_MMAP ON WINDOWS

When OPTIMIZE/REPAIR TABLE is switching to new data file,
old data file is removed while memory mapping is still
active.

With 5.1 implementation of nt_share_delete() it is not
permitted to remove mmaped file.

This fix disables memory mapping for mi_repair() operations.

modified function do_get_error in mysqltest.cc to handle multiple variable passed
added test case to mysqltest.test to verify handling to multiple errors passed

               WITH LIBEDIT

Libedit won't build on platforms that do not provide
"sys/cdefs.h".

Removed the inclusion of cdefs.h from all files
other that sys.h, which includes this file only
when the header is found while configuring.
