Description:
Release build of 5.0.24 on Windows x64.
Where all other platforms report 
   1146   Table ___ doesn't exist
this build reports
   1017   Can't find file: ___ (errno: 9)

The effect occurs in many tests (list below), is best visible here:

Another symptom of the same number difference is this style:

=====
create_select_tmp              [ fail ]

Errors are (from C:/cygwin/home/mysqldev/build/mysql-5.0.24-build-x64/mysql-5.0.24/mysql-test/var/log/mysqltest-time) :
mysqltest: At line 17: query 'select * from t2' failed with wrong errno 1017: 'Can't find file: './test/t2.frm' (errno: 9)', instead of 1146...
(the last lines may be the most important ones)
Result from queries before failure can be found in r/create_select_tmp.log
=====
