in tests after the last 4.1->5.0 merge, and:
*** The same as ChangeSet@1.1822.1.1, 2004-05-14 23:08:03+02:00, guilhem@mysql.com of MySQL 4.0 ***
Replication testsuite: making the master-slave synchronization less likely to fail,
by adding sleep-and-retries (max 4 times) if MASTER_POS_WAIT() returns NULL
in sync_with_master and sync_slave_with_master.
The problem showed up only today, in MySQL 5.0 in rpl_server_id2.test,
but may affect 4.x as well, so I fixed 4.x too. Note that I am also fixing
5.0, with the same exact patch, because I don't want to leave 5.0 broken
until the next 4.0->4.1->5.0 merge.
(WL#794). This can be of interest in some recovery-from-backup scenarios, and also when you have
two databases in one mysqld, having a certain similarity and you want one db to be updated when the other is
(some sort of trigger).
Plus small fix for BUG#3568 "MySQL server crashes when built --with-debug and CHANGE MASTER +MASTER_POS_WAIT"
