Details:
Most tests mentioned within the bug report were already fixed.
The test modified here failed in stability (high parallel load) tests.

Details:
1. Take care that disconnects are finished before the test terminates.
2. Correct wrong handling of send/reap in events_stress which caused
   random garbled output
3. Minor beautifying of script code

         with seg fault

Multiple-table DELETE from a table joined to itself may cause
server crash. This was originally discovered with MEMORY engine,
but may affect other engines with different symptoms.

The problem was that the server violated SE API by performing
parallel table scan in one handler and removing records in
another (delete on the fly optimization).

When a user selected an unsupported character set for an
IBMDB2I table, error 2501 or 2511 may have been returned,
giving the appearance of an internal programming error.

This patch consolidates these errors into a single descriptive
error message for the common case of an unsupported character
set.

The new error number is 2504 and indicates a user error.
The errors 2501 and 2511 remain to indicate cases of internal
programming errors.

on cp932 and sjis environment.
Problem: case conversion erroneously changes the second bytes
of multi-byte sequences because single-byte functions were
called in a mistake.
Fix: call multi-byte aware functions instead.

removed few sprintf's

'INSERT ... SELECT' statements

Merge

'INSERT ... SELECT' statements
            
The code that produces result rows expected that a duplicate row
error could not occur in INSERT ... SELECT statements with 
unfulfilled WHERE conditions. This may happen, however, if the 
SELECT list contains only aggregate functions.
Fixed by checking if an error occured before trying to send EOF
to the client.

A backport of fix for "BUG40092 - Storage engine API uses
time_t datatype".

Starting from MSVC C++ 2005 (v8), the default size of time_t
is changed from 32-bit to 64-bit. As the result, the binaries
built with pre-v8 MSVC C++ do not work with the binaries
(storage engine plugins) built with v8 or after (server
crashes).

Fixed storage engine API to use datatype with known size
(ulong) instead of time_t.

1. Replace waiting of SQL thread stop by waiting of SQL error on slave and stopped
SQL thread.
2. Remove debug code because it already implemented in MTR2.

EXPLAIN EXTENDED of nested query containing a error:

   1054 Unknown column '...' in 'field list'

may cause a server crash.


Parse error like described above forces a call to
JOIN::destroy() on malformed subquery.
That JOIN::destroy function closes and frees temporary
tables. However, temporary fields of these tables
may be listed in st_select_lex::group_list of outer
query, and that st_select_lex may not cleanup them
properly. So, after the JOIN::destroy call that
st_select_lex::group_list may have Item_field
objects with dangling pointers to freed temporary
table Field objects. That caused a crash.

This patch adds corrections to the original patch
submitted 2009-04-08 (http://lists.mysql.com/commits/71607):

- fixed that the original patch didn't work because of an
  incorrect condition;
- added a test case.

my_error() was invoked in reset_slave()'s with purge_relay_logs()-failing branch
without passing sql_errno to it.

Fixed with setting sql_errno= ER_RELAY_LOG_FAIL in the purge_relay_logs()-failing branch.

                                    table corruption


Moved the testcase from the file myisam.test to the new testfile 
mysiam_debug.test
 

This is a "null" merge because the fix is
already in 5.1

Error happens because sp_head::MULTI_RESULTS is not set for SP
which has 'show table status' command.
The fix is to add a SQLCOM_SHOW_TABLE_STATUS case into
sp_get_flags_for_command() func.
