For example the Binlog_dump thread (on the master) sometimes showed "Slave:".
And there were confusing messages where "binlog" was employed instead
of "relay log".

when the SQL thread stops, set rli->inside_transaction to 0. This is needed if the user
later restarts replication from a completely different place where there are only autocommit
statements.
* Detect the case where the master died while flushing the binlog cache to the binlog
and stop with error. Cannot add a testcase for this in 4.0 (I tested it manually)
as the slave always runs with --skip-innodb.

  Fix for a bug #878

into mysql.com:/home/mysql_src/mysql-4.0

fix for BUG#1113 "INSERT into non-trans table SELECT ; ROLLBACK" does not send warning"
and
fix for BUG#873 "In transaction, INSERT to non-trans table is written too early to binlog".
Now we don't always write the non-trans update immediately to the binlog;
if there is something in the binlog cache we write it to the binlog cache
(because the non-trans update could depend on a trans table which was modified
earlier in the transaction); then in case of ROLLBACK, we write the binlog
cache to the binlog, wrapped with BEGIN/ROLLBACK.
This guarantees that the slave does the same updates.
For ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT: when we execute a SAVEPOINT command we write it
to the binlog cache. At ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT, if some non-trans table was updated,
we write ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT to the binlog cache; when the transaction
terminates (COMMIT/ROLLBACK), the binlog cache will be flushed to the binlog
(because of the non-trans update) so we'll have SAVEPOINT and ROLLBACK TO
SAVEPOINT in the binlog.

Apart from this rare case of updates of mixed table types in transaction, the
usual way is still clear the binlog cache at ROLLBACK, or chop it at
ROLLBACK TO SAVEPOINT (meaning the SAVEPOINT command is also chopped, which
is fine).
Note that BUG#873 encompasses subbugs 1) and 2) of BUG#333 "3 binlogging bugs when doing INSERT with mixed InnoDB/MyISAM".

Move test that uses many tables (in query_cache.test) to separate test so that we can get it 'skipped' instead of 'failed' on system where we can't open many files.

Let's say the lack of comments did not help me ;)
Copying it back again and adding comments; now 3.23->4.0
replication of LOAD DATA INFILE works again.

Since my changes, rpl_log.test, whose result file depends on file_id, became
non-repeatable, i.e. file_id on slave in SHOW BINLOG EVENTS
changed depending on the order of tests (sometimes 1, sometimes 5).
Which is logical: as now the slave does not copy Create_file and Exec_load from
the relay log (i.e from the master's binlog) to the slave's binlog, but
instead lets mysql_load() do the logging, the file_id is now the one whic
was used on the slave. Before it was the one which was used on the master,
and by chance the master was always restarted for this test because there's
a -master.opt file, so file_id on the master is always 1. But now file_id is
from the slave so we need to restart the slave. That's why I add an (empty)
-slave.opt file. I could have used 'server_stop/start slave', but this
would have required the manager, so most of the time mysql-test-run silently
skip the test which makes it useless. And I want this test to be run !

"LOAD DATA INFILE is badly filtered by binlog-*-db rules".
There will probably be a second final one to merge Dmitri's changes
to rpl_log.result and mine.
2 new tests:
rpl_loaddata_rule_m : test of logging of LOAD DATA INFILE when the master has binlog-*-db rules,
rpl_loaddata_rule_s : test of logging of LOAD DATA INFILE when the slave has binlog-*-db rules and --log-slave-updates.

the first 4 bytes of the relay log. Indeed comments in mysys/mf_iocache.c 
say we must always use my_b_append for such a cache.
This *could* avoid a very rare assertion failure which is: 
030524 19:32:38  Slave SQL thread initialized, starting replication in log 'FIRST' at position 0, relay log '/
users/gbichot/4.1.1/mysql-test/var/log/slave-relay-bin.000001' position: 4
030524 19:32:38  next log '/users/gbichot/4.1.1/mysql-test/var/log/slave-relay-bin.000002' is currently active
mysqld: mf_iocache.c:701: _my_b_seq_read: Assertion `pos_in_file == info->end_of_file' failed.
and which seemed to happen always when the SQL thread and/or the I/O thread
were at position 4 in a relay log.
