Description:
If the test case mysql_client_test fails, the results of the test case before the failure are overwritten by a message that the exec of the command failed, making impossible to know which particular test case failed.

How to repeat:
Insert a failure in mysql_client_test.c and run the test case. 

davi@endora:~/mysql-5.0-runtime/mysql-test$ cat var/log/mysql_client_test.log
exec of '/home/davi/mysql-5.0-runtime/tests/mysql_client_test --no-defaults --testcase --user=root --port=12000 --socket=/home/davi/mysql-5.0-runtime/mysql-test/var/tmp/master.sock --vardir=/home/davi/mysql-5.0-runtime/mysql-test/var --getopt-ll-test

Previous entries are lost.

Suggested fix:
Messages to the log file should be appended to the file.

  It's impossible to determine which test inside mysql_client_test
  failed if the log file is overwritten. Always append
  when dumping results to the log file.
