Due to a compiler bug, slave.cc:tables_ok() sometimes wrongly returns
1 if the return type is int or int_fast8_t. The test case that showed this problem is rpl000001 and the tested version was MySQL 5.0.2. The compiler with the problem is GCC 3.0.4 runing on "Linux bitch 2.4.18 #2 Thu Apr 11 14:37:17 EDT 2002 sparc64 unknown". By changing the return type to bool the problem disappear. (Another way to make the problem disappear is to simply print the returned value with printf("%d",?). The printed returned value is always 0 in the test cases I have run.) This is only a partial solution to the problem, since someone could later change the return type of the function back to int or some other type that does not work.
