Bug#33031 app linked to libmysql.lib crash if run as service in vista under 
localsystem
  

There are some problems using DllMain hook functions on Windows that 
automatically do global and per-thread initialization for libmysqld.dll

1)per-thread initialization(DLL_THREAD_ATTACH)
MySQL internally counts number of active threads that and causes a delay in in 
my_end() if not all threads are exited. But,there are threads that can be 
started either by Windows internally (often in TCP/IP scenarios) or by user 
himself - those threads are not necessarily using libmysql.dll functionality, 
but nonetheless the contribute to the count of open threads.

2)process-initialization (DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH)
my_init() calls WSAStartup that itself loads DLLs and can lead to a deadlock in 
Windows loader.

Fix is to remove dll initialization code from libmysql.dll in general case. I
still leave an environment variable LIBMYSQL_DLLINIT, which if set to any value 
will cause the old behavior (DLL init hooks will be called). This env.variable 
exists only to prevent breakage of existing Windows-only applications that 
don't do mysql_thread_init() and work ok today. Use of LIBMYSQL_DLLINIT is 
discouraged and it will be removed in 6.0

            returns unexpected result

If:
  1. a table has a not nullable BIT column c1 with a length
     shorter than 8 bits and some additional not nullable
     columns c2 etc, and
  2. the WHERE clause is like: (c1 = constant) AND c2 ...,
the SELECT query returns unexpected result set.


The server stores BIT columns in a tricky way to save disk
space: if column's bit length is not divisible by 8, the
server places reminder bits among the null bits at the start
of a record. The rest bytes are stored in the record itself,
and Field::ptr points to these rest bytes.

However if a bit length of the whole column is less than 8,
there are no remaining bytes, and there is nothing to store in
the record at its regular place. In this case Field::ptr points
to bytes actually occupied by the next column in a record.
If both columns (BIT and the next column) are NOT NULL,
the Field::eq function incorrectly deduces that this is the
same column, so query transformation/equal item elimination
code (see build_equal_items_for_cond) may mix these columns
and damage conditions containing references to them.

  Added test case for bug #37799.
mysql-test/t/type_bit.test:
  Added test case for bug #37799.
sql/field.h:
  1. The Field::eq function has been modified to take types of
  comparing columns into account to distinguish between BIT and
  not BIT columns referencing the same bytes in a record.
  
  2. Unnecessary type comparison has been removed from the
  Field_bit::eq function (moved to Field::eq).

used causes server crash.
      
When the loose index scan access method is used values of aggregated functions
are precomputed by it. Aggregation of such functions shouldn't be performed
in this case and functions should be treated as normal ones.
The create_tmp_table function wasn't taking this into account and this led to
a crash if a query has MIN/MAX aggregate functions and employs temporary table
and loose index scan.
Now the JOIN::exec and the create_tmp_table functions treat MIN/MAX aggregate
functions as normal ones when the loose index scan is used.


mysql-test/r/group_min_max.result:
  Added a test case for the bug#38195.

  The JOIN::exec and the create_tmp_table functions treat MIN/MAX aggregate

Typo fixed.
No test case as we actually don't use rtree_get_first() 
and rtree_get_next() at present.

Problem: data consistency check (maximum record length) for a correct
MyISAM table with CHECKSUM=1 and ROW_FORMAT=DYNAMIC option 
may fail due to wrong inner MyISAM parameter. In result we may 
have the table marked as 'corrupted'. 

Fix: properly set MyISAM maximum record length parameter.


myisam/mi_create.c:
  Fix for bug #37310: 'on update CURRENT_TIMESTAMP' option crashes the table
  
  Use HA_OPTION_PACK_RECORD instead of HA_PACK_RECORD (typo?) 
  calculating packed record length.

Dumping information about locks in use by sending a SIGHUP signal
to the server or by invoking the "mysqladmin debug" command may
lead to a server crash in debug builds or to undefined behavior in
production builds.

The problem was that a mutex that protects a lock object (THR_LOCK)
might have been destroyed before the lock object was actually removed
from the list of locks in use, causing a race condition with other
threads iterating over the list. The solution is to destroy the mutex
only after removing lock object from the list.

mysys/thr_lock.c:
  Destroy the mutex that protects the lock object only after removing
  the lock object from the list of locks in use.

  Bug#26687 rpl_ddl test fails if run with --innodb option
  Details:
  - The current test + the expected results do only fit
    if the slave uses MyISAM for mysqltest1.t1.
    Therefore skip the test if we do not meet these
    conditions.
  - The solution for 5.1 will look quite different
    because "ps_ddl" is already much improved in
    MySQL 5.1.

            
            test_if_data_home_dir fixed to look into real path.

Send_field.org_col_name has broken value on secondary execution.

more clever gcc version checking.

Tilde expansion could fail when it was to expand to an empty string (such as
when HOME is set to an empty string), especially on systems where size_t is
unsigned.

Length value is the length of the field,
Max_length is the length of the field value.
So Max_length can not be more than Length.
The fix: fixed calculation of the Item_empty_string item length

used causes server crash.

When the loose index scan access method is used values of aggregated functions
are precomputed by it. Aggregation of such functions shouldn't be performed
in this case and functions should be treated as normal ones.
The create_tmp_table function wasn't taking this into account and this led to
a crash if a query has MIN/MAX aggregate functions and employs temporary table
and loose index scan.
Now the JOIN::exec and the create_tmp_table functions treat MIN/MAX aggregate
functions as normal ones when the loose index scan is used.
