Hi Monty, While fixing test failures in the MariaDB 5.5 tree, I encountered problems in sql_string, related to changes you did there in 5.2. I managed to come up with some solution, but please see below patch and see if you can suggest something better. Two issues: 1. You added realloc_with_extra() / realloc_with_extra_if_needed(), and used them to replace calls to realloc(). But realloc() as part of its operation puts a terminating '\0' at the end of the allocation; with your change this is now at a different (and not very useful) position in the buffer. My change tries to put it in the original place, but it is not terribly elegant, and perhaps your original change needs to be rethought. 2. I found a terrible mess (IMHO): We have two distict, subtly differing, sql_string.{h,cc}, one in /sql/ and one in /client/. We even seem to have a requirement for ABI compatibility between the two, since mysql_embedded uses client/sql_string.h with sql/sql_string.cc :-( And in fact your change seems to break such ABI compatibility, so I suspect mysql_embedded might be subtly broken in 5.2. But why do we need to have two sql_string in the first place? Especially given that they are apparently sufficiently close to be ABI compatible ... can't we eliminate on of them to get at least a little sanity into the sql_string story? - Kristian. knielsen@knielsen-hq.org writes:

Fix typo causing too low timeout value for wait_for_slave_param.inc. Fix wrong/missing '\0' termination in String:realloc() after Monty's optimisations to reduce reallocation calls. === modified file 'mysql-test/include/wait_for_slave_param.inc' --- a/mysql-test/include/wait_for_slave_param.inc 2010-12-20 14:15:01 +0000 +++ b/mysql-test/include/wait_for_slave_param.inc 2011-12-09 14:40:27 +0000 @@ -79,7 +79,7 @@ if ($_slave_check_configured == 'No such
