User name (host name) has limit on length. The server code relies on these
limits when storing the names. The problem was that sometimes these limits
were not checked properly, so that could lead to buffer overflow.
  
The fix is to check length of user/host name in parser and if string is too
long, throw an error.

These variables must be defined for Netware, or it fails
to recognize hard paths starting from the device.

the problem is described and resolved by 20919 which fix happened not to have got to
the release tree. Applying the patch of the parent bug.

Too many cursors (more than 1024) could lead to memory corruption.
This affects both, stored routines and C API cursors, and the
threshold is per-server, not per-connection.  Similarly, the
corruption could happen when the server was under heavy load
(executing more than 1024 simultaneous complex queries), and this is
the reason why this bug is fixed in 4.1, which doesn't support
cursors.

The corruption was caused by a bug in the temporary tables code, when
an attempt to create a table could lead to a write beyond allocated
space.  Note, that only internal tables were affected (the tables
created internally by the server to resolve the query), not tables
created with CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE.  Another pre-condition for the
bug is TRUE value of --temp-pool startup option, which, however, is a
default.

The cause of a bug was that random memory was overwritten in
bitmap_set_next() due to out-of-bound memory access.

      BUG#20850: Assert during slave shutdown in many rpl_* tests
      This patch has already been applied to 5.1.

  Place mysqlmanager 'pdb' file in 'client_debug' directory
mysys.vcproj:
  Removed define of __NT__ from 'Debug' target
mysqld.vcproj:
  Always generate 'pdb' and 'map' files

"real" table fails in JOINs".

This is a regression caused by the fix for Bug 18444. 
This fix removed the assignment of empty_c_string to table->db performed 
in add_table_to_list, as neither me nor anyone else knew what it was 
there for. Now we know it and it's covered with tests: the only case 
when a table database name can be empty is when the table is a derived 
table. The fix puts the assignment back but makes it a bit more explicit.

Additionally, finally drop sp.result.orig which was checked in by mistake. 

REPLACE ... SELECT would require INSERT privileges on certain tables
when SELECT really suffices. Require INSERT only on target table.

mysqldump did not select the correct database before trying to dump
views from it. this resulted in an empty result set, which in turn
startled mysql-dump into a core-dump.  this only happened for views,
not for tables, and was only visible with multiple databases that
weren't by sheer luck in the order mysqldump required, anyway. this
fixes by selecting the correct database before dumping views; it also
catches the empty set-condition if it should occur for other reasons.

- partial backport of code from 5.1, do cot compare_record for engines that do not read all columns during update

  
Two functions have different ideas of what a string should look like;
one of them reads memory it assumes the other one may have written.
And "if you assume ..."
  
We now use a more defensive variety of the assuming function, this fixes
a warning thrown by the valgrind tool.

In some functions dealing with strings and character sets, the wrong
pointers were saved for restoration in THD::rollback_item_tree_changes().
This could potentially cause random corruption or crashes.

Fixed by passing the original Item ** locations, not local stack copies.

Also remove unnecessary use of default arguments.
