the old problem - mysqltest can't handle multiple connections in the
embedded server properly. So i disabled the test for the embedded mode
until mysqltest is fixed
- Fixed tests
- Optimized new code
- Fixed some unlikely core dumps
- Better bug fixes for:
- #14397 - OPTIMIZE TABLE with an open HANDLER causes a crash
- #14850 (ERROR 1062 when a quering a view using a Group By on a column that can be null
Version for 5.0.
It fixes three problems:
1. The cause of the bug was that we did not check the table version for
the HANDLER ... READ commands. We did not notice when a table was
replaced by a new one. This can happen during ALTER TABLE, REPAIR
TABLE, and OPTIMIZE TABLE (there might be more cases). I call the fix
for this problem "the primary bug fix".
2. mysql_ha_flush() was not always called with a locked LOCK_open.
Though the function comment clearly said it must.
I changed the code so that the locking is done when required. I call
the fix for this problem "the secondary fix".
3. In 5.0 (not in 4.1 or 4.0) DROP TABLE had a possible deadlock flaw in
concur with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. I call the fix for this
problem "the 5.0 addendum fix".
Version for 4.0.

BUG#4335 - one name can be handler open'ed many times.
Reworked the HANDLER functions and interface.
Using a HASH to store information on open tables that
survives FLUSH TABLE.
HANDLER tables alias names must now be unique, though it
is allowed in 4.0 to qualify them with the database name
of the base table.
