Description:
There is no description of minimum and maximum values of master-retry-count in user manual.

How to repeat:
See http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/replication-options-slave.html#option_mysqld_master...

Suggested fix:
Add these values, add a note there is no way to set real unlimited master-retry-count

Added a note that a value of 0 means "infinite" and the slave will attempt to connect forever.
