+ adopted signal to be as close as possible to 5.1...

- correction of previous patch

- make sure to allocate just enough pages in the fragments by using the actual
  row count from the backup, to avoid over allocation of pages to fragments, and
  thus avoid the bug

  Cleanup after fix for bug#18360 removal

into  mysql.com:/home/emurphy/mysql-5.0-heikki

Fixes bug#17264, for alter table on win32 for successfull operation completion
it is used TL_WRITE(=10) lock instead of TL_WRITE_ALLOW_READ(=6), however here
in innodb handler TL_WRTIE is lifted to TL_WRITE_ALLOW_WRITE, which causes
race condition when several clients do alter table simultaneously.
