a too large value": the bug was that if MySQL generated a value for an
auto_increment column, based on auto_increment_* variables, and this value
was bigger than the column's max possible value, then that max possible
value was inserted (after issuing a warning). But this didn't honour
auto_increment_* variables (and so could cause conflicts in a master-master
replication where one master is supposed to generated only even numbers,
and the other only odd numbers), so now we "round down" this max possible
value to honour auto_increment_* variables, before inserting it.
