+# Bug #18759 "Incorrect string to numeric conversion"
+#
+# This test is here so that the behavior will not be changed to 4.1
+# and not to 5.0 either. In 4.1 and 5.0 sending an integer as a string
+# will be converted internally to real (double) value and it is not
+# as accurate as bigint (longlong) for integers. Thus the results may
+# vary. In 5.1 internally it is decimal, which is a string type and
+# will be more accurate. Due to rather big changes needed to fix this
+# in 4.1 or 5.0 it is not desired to do it in the stable versions.
+#
+# This test is here only to make sure that behavior is not changed in
+# 4.1 and 5.0
