Fix for crash in mysqld --verbose --help while initializing option
for --init-rpl-role. Problem: There are two variables involved in this issue, rpl_status and rpl_role_type. The former is an array containing the description of the possible values for the latter. rpl_status is declared as an enumeration and is stored in a 4 bytes integer. On the other hand, my_getopt, reads enum values into a ulong: *(ulong*)value= arg; This is overwriting the memory used for rpl_role_type, corrupting the first entry in the array. Fix: We fix this by re-declaring rpl_status as a ulong, so that it has space to accommodate the value "parsed" in my_getopt .
