For "count(*) while index_column = value" an index read
is done. It consists of an index scan and retrieval of
each key.

For efficiency reasons the index scan stores the key in
the special buffer 'lastkey2' once only. At the first 
iteration it notes this fact with the flag 
HA_STATE_RNEXT_SAME in 'info->update'.

For efficiency reasons, the key retrieval for blobs
does not allocate a new buffer, but uses 'lastkey2'...

Now I clear the HA_STATE_RNEXT_SAME flag whenever the 
buffer has been polluted. In this case, the index scan
copies the key value again (and sets the flag again).

  - Back porting of some changes in later releases
  - Corrected valgrind support
  - Removed work around for TZ needed in VisualStudio 6
  - Don't restart master to add special settings from "<testcase>-master.opt",
    if same settngs as running master, feature request in bug#12433
  - With --reorder, keep tests with same *-master.opt content together,
    to save even more master restarts

  Check if the host of table hash record exactly matches host from GRANT command

it breaks binary compatibility. The patch will be left intact

union.result, union.test:
  Adding test case.
item.cc:
  Allow safe character set conversion in UNION
  - string constant to column's charset
  - to unicode
  Thus, UNION now works the same with CONCAT (and other string functions)
  in respect of aggregating arguments with different character sets.

A post-review fix (Bug#13134)

column is increasing when table is recreated with PS/SP":
make use of create_field::char_length more consistent in the code.
Reinit create_field::length from create_field::char_length
for every execution of a prepared statement (actually fixes the 
bug).
