The ::val_str() method has to return NULL if it calculated
        the null_value, not just set the related flag.

fix for bug #801212 Assertion with ST_INTERSECTION on NULL values
        return NULL from the val_str if we get the null_value.

        Collections were treated mistakenly, so the counter for the final UNION operation
        received the wrong value.
        As a fix we implement Item_func_buffer::Transporter::start_collection() method,
        where we set the proper operation and the operand counter.
        start_poly() and start_line() were also modified to function correctly for the 
        polygon as a part of a collection.

bug #801199 Infinite recursion in Gcalc_function::count_internal with ST_BUFFER over MULTIPOINT
        Item_func_buffer::Transporter::start_collection() defined.

        Internal caclucations can't handle zero distance properly.
        As the ST_BUFFER(geom, 0) is in fact NOOP, we'll just return the
        'geom' as the result here.

        return the first argument as the result of the ST_BUFFER, if
        the distance is 0 there.

fix for bug #801243 Assertion `(0)' failed in Gis_geometry_collection::init_from_opresult on ST_UNION 
        If the result contains a polygon with a hole, consequitive shapes weren't calculated
        properly, as the hole appeared as shape in the result, but actually it's a single shape
        with the surrounding polygon. It's more natural to use the size of the result as
        a border instead of the number of resulting shapes.

BUG#761598: InnoDB: Error: row_search_for_mysql() is called without ha_innobase::external_lock() in maria-5.3
- Testcase

- Add testcase

The previous patch partially fixed things by waiting for the old dump thread
on the master to exit before injecting the DBUG error. This prevents the error
injection going to the wrong thread.

However, there is still the problem that the old dump thread may never exit,
causing the wait to time out. This happens if the dump thread manages to write
all events down the socket before the socket is closed by the slave. The
master dump thread only checks for slave gone when writing a new event, so if
no new events are generated, old dump threads can hang around forever on the
master after the slave disconnects.

Fix by explicitly killing the old dump thread if it is still around.

(Changeset sp1r-igor@olga.mysql.com-20070526173301-38848 moved this loop from one place 
to another, then the merge of sp1r-gshchepa/uchum@gleb.loc-20070527192244-26330  have 
kept both copies).

- move attempt to evaluate join->exec_const_cond() out of the "Extract constant part of each ON expression" loop
  (it got there by mistake when merging).

mysql-test/suite/maria/t/maria3.test:

from an ad hoc set of limitations
to a correct rule

Fixed reference to not initialized memory detected by valgrind

sql/sql_select.cc:
  A bit better fix for tmp-table problem:
  Use only dynamic_record format for group by and distinct.
storage/maria/ma_create.c:
  DYNAMIC_RECORD format doesn't pack VARCHAR fields.
  This change fixes a non-fatal uninitialized memory copy.

The function generate_derived_keys did not take into account the fact
that the last element in the array of keyuses could be just a barrier
element. In some cases it could lead to a crash of the server.

Also fixed a couple of other bugs in generate_derived_keys: the inner 
loop in the body of if this function did not change the cycle variables
properly.

The reason for this is that BLOCK_RECORD format is not good when there is a lot of duplicated keys as it first writes the data (to get the row position) and
then writes the key (and thus checks for duplicates).

INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE statement that used a temptable view v1 could lead to
a crash if v1 was defined as a select from a mergeable view v2 that selected
rows from a temptable view v3. 
 
When INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE uses a view that is not updatable then field
translation for the view should be created before the prepare phase.

After talking to HeidiSQL people -  libmysql.dll that comes with their distribution in place, dont replace with our own.
It also will result in less HeidiSQL restarts during MariaDB upgrades (since libmysql.dll won't be replaced)
