where we know how to creat the vardir 
Remove unused variable

 - Avoid use of mtr_run when executing "mysqld --verbose --help" to find
   version and supported features


mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
  Don't use mtr_run when executing "mysqld --verbose --help" to find
  version and supported features.

in all cuurently known log files 

After that it will by default use log tables. That setting can be overruled
by adding a -master.opt file like mysql_client_test has.

if that is same as opt_mem it can be removed

with the function where vardir's are created

 - Better control of when to create/remove vardir


mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
  Split the part the function cleanup_stale_files in two parts
    - one that removes any old var directories
    - one that setup var in te proper location
  
  If running against extern server and no vardir has been created in the specified
  location, run the latter function to create the vardir structure. Else print
  message saying the vardir already exists and continue.

And if var/ has been created, it will be recreated later so the logs
from "mtr_kill_leftovers" will be lost anyway  


mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
  Don't create vardir before mtr_kill_leftovers
mysql-test/lib/mtr_process.pl:
  Send output - if any - from mysqladmin to stdout/stderr. There shouldn't
  be any such errors and if any occur, it's good to know about them.

mysql-test/lib/mtr_report.pl:
  Don't output "skipped" comment if there is none (bug#24471)
mysql-test/mysql-test-run.pl:
  Removed "use diagnostics", reduces Perl speed significantly. Can be
  enabled with "perl -Mdiagnostics mysql-test-run.pl".

Installing libc6-dbg on Debian will still provide proper bactraces, even
without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly.


mysql-test/lib/mtr_io.pl:
  Do not link /usr/lib/debug/* on Debian <=3.1, as it causes broken stack
  traces in Valgrind.

There was an improper order of doing chained operations.

To the documentor: ENABLE|DISABLE KEYS combined with RENAME TO, and no other
ALTER TABLE clause, leads to server crash independent of the presence of
indices and data in the table.

  add test for bug#24129
sql/sql_table.cc:
  If there is operation on the KEYS, first do it
  and then do a rename if there is such. Or, we will crash because
  the underlying table has changed.

	with embedded spaces
  
Problem:  Original code written assuming password contains no spaces.
Further, because of how sh interprets characters in variables, you
cannot do the "simple solution".
  
Solution:  Move the "was a password provided" check to the end. This
allows us to correctly quote the password argument when passed to the
mysql client program.  Addendum:  Put this check inside of a shell fn
to simplify the code.


scripts/mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sh:
  Moved password existence check to end to allow for passwords with

Add a warning about --memlock to the crash monologue.
