If your @strong{MySQL} version doesn't pass the test suite you should
do the following:

Don't send a bug report before you have found out as much as possible of
what when wrong! When you do it, please use the @code{mysqlbug} script
so that we can get information about your system and @code{MySQL}
version. @xref{Bug reports}.
@item
If you have compiled @strong{MySQL} yourself, check our manual for how
to compile @strong{MySQL} on your platform or, preferable, use one of
the binaries we have compiled for you at
@uref{http://www.mysql.com/downloads/}. All our standard binaries should
pass the test suite !
@item
If you get an error, like @code{Result length mismatch} or @code{Result
content mismatch} it means that the output of the test didn't match
exactly the expected output. This could be a bug in @strong{MySQL} or
that your mysqld version produces slight different results under some
circumstances. In this case you should compare the @code{.test}
and @code{.reject} file in the @code{mysql-test/r} sub directory to
see if this is something to worry about.
@item
If a test fails totally, you should check the logs file in the
@code{mysql-test/var/log} directory for hints of what went wrong.
@item
If you have compiled @strong{MySQL} with debugging you can try to debug this
with the @code{--gdb} and @code{--debug} options to @code{mysql-test-run}.
