HAVING
            
When calculating GROUP BY the server caches some expressions. It does
that by allocating a string slot (Item_copy_string) and assigning the 
value of the expression to it. This effectively means that the result
type of the expression can be changed from whatever it was to a string.
As this substitution takes place after the compile-time result type 
calculation for IN but before the run-time type calculations, 
it causes the type calculations in the IN function done at run time 
to get unexpected results different from what was prepared at compile time.
                  
In the CASE ... WHEN ... THEN ... statement there was a similar problem
and it was solved by artificially adding a STRING argument to the set of 
types of the IN/CASE arguments at compile time, so if any of the 
arguments of the CASE function changes its type to a string it will 
still be covered by the information prepared at compile time.

stop/start slave
      
When stopping and restarting the slave while it is replicating
temporary tables, the server would crash or raise an assertion
failure. This was due to the fact that although temporary tables are
saved between slave threads restart, the reference to the thread in
use (table->in_use) was not being properly updated when the restart
happened (it would still reference the old/invalid thread instead of
the new one).
      
This patch addresses this issue by resetting the reference to the new
slave thread on slave thread restart.

New patch incorporating review feedback prior to push.

            assertion .\filesort.cc, line 797

Minor fix to test case (embedded server failure).

            assertion .\filesort.cc, line 797

A query with the "ORDER BY @@some_system_variable" clause,
where @@some_system_variable is NULL, causes assertion
failure in the filesort procedures.

The reason of the failure is in the value of
Item_func_get_system_var::maybe_null: it was unconditionally
set to false even if the value of a variable was NULL.

             warnings after uncompressed_length 
 
UNCOMPRESSED_LENGTH() did not validate its argument. In 
particular, if the argument length was less than 4 bytes, 
an uninitialized memory value was returned as a result. 
 
Since the result of COMPRESS() is either an empty string or 
a 4-byte length prefix followed by compressed data, the bug was 
fixed by ensuring that the argument of UNCOMPRESSED_LENGTH() is 
either an empty string or contains at least 5 bytes (as done in 
UNCOMPRESS()). This is the best we can do to validate input 
without decompressing.

The RAND(N) function where the N is a field of "constant" table
(table of single row) failed with a SIGFPE.

Evaluation of RAND(N) rely on constant status of its argument.
Current server "seeded" random value for each constant argument
only once, in the Item_func_rand::fix_fields method.
Then the server skipped a call to seed_random() in the
Item_func_rand::val_real method for such constant arguments.

However, non-constant state of an argument may be changed
after the call to fix_fields, if an argument is a field of
"constant" table. Thus, pre-initialization of random value
in the fix_fields method is too early.


Initialization of random value by seed_random() has been
removed from Item_func_rand::fix_fields method.
The Item_func_rand::val_real method has been modified to
call seed_random() on the first evaluation of this method
if an argument is a function.

Fix bug in mtr_cases.pm script visible only when InnoDB isn't configured.

Occasionally, if both the partition_pruning
and partition_range tests are run sequentially
against the IBMDB2I engine, the partition_range
test will fail.

Compiler padding on a 64-bit build allowed
garbage data in the hash key used for
caching open iconv descriptors. As a
result, cached descriptors were not found,
and multiple duplicate iconv descriptors
were opened for a single character set.
Eventually, the maximum number of open
iconv descriptors was reached, and further
iconv_open() calls would fail, leading the
storage engine to report incorrectly that
the character set was not supported.

This patch widens the 16-bit members of the
hash key to 32 bits to eliminate compiler
padding. The entire length of the hash key
is now initialized correctly on both 32-bit
and 64-bit builds.

storage/ibmdb2i/db2i_charsetSupport.cc:
  Bug#44856 IBMDB2I gives misleading 2504 error
  
  widen the 16-bit members of the
  hash key to 32 bits to eliminate
  compiler padding.

In order to better support the usage of
IBMDB2I tables from within RPG programs,
the storage engine should ensure that the
RCDFMT name is consistent and predictable
for DB2 tables.

This patch appends a "RCDFMT <name>"
clause to the CREATE TABLE statement
that is passed to DB2.  <name> is
generated from the original name of
the table itself. This ensures a
consistent and deterministic mapping
from the original table.

For the sake of simplicity only
the alpha-numeric characters are
preserved when generating the new
name, and these are upper-cased;
other characters are replaced with
an underscore (_). Following DB2
system identifier rules, the name
always begins with an alpha-character
and has a maximum of ten characters.
If no usable characters are found in
the table name, the name X is used.
