Description:
The new two test program have the following log entries in case of running embedded:
main.event_scheduler_basic     [ fail ]

ERROR: mysqltest returned unexpected code 139, it has probably crashed

Stopping All Servers
Restoring snapshot of databases
Resuming Tests

main.event_scheduler_func      [ fail ]

ERROR: mysqltest returned unexpected code 139, it has probably crashed

Stopping All Servers
Restoring snapshot of databases
Resuming Tests

main.events_1                  [ skipped ]   Test requires: 'not_embedded'

https://intranet.mysql.com/secure/pushbuild/getlog.pl?dir=mysql-5.1-build&entry=cmiller@zi...

How to repeat:
execute the main tests
main.event_scheduler_basic.test
and
main.event_scheduler_func.test

Test are disabled.

Suggested fix:
Usage on the events should be rejected with an error.

Yes, the events should be disabled in embedded server. Even they should be compiled out, which won't be too hard to implement as the code is not spread all around the server.

Thank you for the report.

I can not find specified tests nor in mysql-5.1.24-rc source package, neither in mysql-5.1 main tree. Which sources do you use?

  Bug#35997 Event scheduler seems to let the server crash, if it is embedded.
  
  The event scheduler was not designed to work in embedded mode. This
  patch disables the system variable 'event_scheduler' used to activate
  the event scheduler when the server is compiled in embedded mode.

  Enable previously disabled test cases which were tested against
  the embedded build. The test cases are modified so that they require
  non-embedded build.

  Part 2.
  This patch fixes event related methods in object services API (si_objects.c)
  so that they behave well also when events are disabled in the server.

  This patch implements a dummy implementation of the abstract fill_table
  function to be used when the event scheduler (or other core feature)
  isn't part of the build.
