Took the Xfree implementation (based on the same rewrite as the NDB one)
and added it instead of the current implementation.
Added a macro to make the calls to MD5 more streamlined. 

      
The copy of the original arguments of a aggregate function was not
initialized until after fix_fields().
Sometimes (e.g. when there's an error processing the statement)
the print() can be called with no corresponding fix_fields() call.
      
Fixed by adding a check if the Item is fixed before using the arguments
copy.

Changes are due to changes in precision.
Re-record of .result files to account for new server precision.

When disk is full, server may waiting for free space while
writing binlog, relay-log or MyISAM tables. The server will 
continue after user have freed some space. But the error
message printed was not quite clear about the how often the
error message is printed, and there will be a delay before
the server continue and user freeing space. And caused users
thinking that the server was hanging forever.

This patch fixed the problem by making the error messages
printed more clear. The error message is split into two part,
the first part will only be printed once, and the second part
will be printed very 10 times.

Message first part:
Disk is full writing '<filename>' (Errcode: <errorno>). Waiting
for someone to free space... (Expect up to 60 secs delay for 
server to continue after freeing disk space)

Message second part:
Retry in 60 secs, Message reprinted in 600 secs

Fix for BUG 20023: mysql_change_user() resets the value

The bug was that SQL_BIG_SELECTS was not properly set
in COM_CHANGE_USER.
  
The fix is to update SQL_BIG_SELECTS properly.

Backporting patch to 5.0.

Bug #41571: MySQL segfaults after innodb recovery

This 5.0 fix will not be pushed into 5.1; a separate fix (from
innodb-5.1-ss4007) will be pushed into 5.1+.

branches/5.0: rec_set_nth_field(): When the field already is SQL null,
do nothing when it is being changed to SQL null. (Bug #41571)

Normally, MySQL does not pass "do-nothing" updates to the storage engine.
When it does and a column of an InnoDB table that is in ROW_FORMAT=COMPACT
is being updated from NULL to NULL, the InnoDB buffer pool will be corrupted
without this fix.

Bug #18828: If InnoDB runs out of undo slots, it returns misleading 'table is full'

This is a backport of code already in 5.1+.  The error message change referred
to in the detailed revision comments is still pending.

branches/5.0:

Backport the fix for Bug#18828. Return DB_TOO_MANY_CONCURRENT_TRXS
when we run out of UNDO slots in the rollback segment. The backport
is requested by MySQL under bug#41529 - Safe handling of InnoDB running
out of undo log slots.

This is a partial fix since the MySQL error code requested to properly
report the error condition back to the client has not yet materialized.
Currently we have #ifdef'd the error code translation in ha_innodb.cc.
This will have to be changed as and when MySQl add the new requested
code or an equivalent code that we can then use.

Given the above, currently we will get the old behavior, not the
"fixed" and intended behavior.

Fix Bug#39939 DROP TABLE/DISCARD TABLESPACE takes long time in

The algorithm of determining the best key for loose index scan is doing a loop
over the available indexes and selects the one that has the best cost.
It retrieves the parameters of the current index into a set of variables.
If the cost of using the current index is lower than the best cost so far it 
copies these variables into another set of variables that contain the 
information for the best index so far.
After having checked all the indexes it uses these variables (outside of the 
index loop) to create the table read plan object instance.
The was a single omission : the key_infix/key_infix_len variables were used 
outside of the loop without being preserved in the loop for the best index 
so far.
This causes these variables to get overwritten by the next index(es) checked.
Fixed by adding variables to hold the data for the current index, passing 
the new variables to the function that assigns values to them and copying 
the new variables into the existing ones when selecting a new current best 
index.
To avoid further such problems moved the declarations of the variables used 
to keep information about the current index inside the loop's compound 
statement.

Fixed a typo in the bug fix patch.

Started fix in 5.0 as the same issue is here.
Revising queries used given what appears to be the scope of this test to only select the manipulated variables.
Added tests for values that are / are not multiples of 1024 to test rounding / constraints.

Problem: wrong LONG TEXT field length is sent to a client 
when multibyte server character set used.

Fix: always limit field length sent to a client to 2^32,
