Description:
rpl_row_log_innodb             [ fail ]

Errors are (from /dev/shm/var-ps_row-6/log/mysqltest-time) :
mysqltest: In included file "./extra/rpl_tests/rpl_log.test": At line 80: could not sync with master ('select master_pos_wait('master-bin.000002', 201)' returned NULL)
(the last lines may be the most important ones)
Result from queries before failure can be found in r/rpl_row_log_innodb.log

Killing Possible Leftover Processes

How to repeat:
Test passes on local machine, fails in pushbuild.
The failure happens immediately after start slave is issued, and then select master_pos_wait() returns NULL, which indicates that the slave thread is not yet started.

This is a race condition in the test case, and harmless in the real world.

Suggested fix:
Make the test more resilient to the time it takes to start the slave thread.
Easy fix: add a sleep
Better fix: use the new wait_slave_status.inc solution to poll slave status and exit cleanly when thread starts.

Pushed temporary fix, need to do proper fix with wait_slave_status.inc
