Description:
Looking http://bugs.mysql.com/15019 you will see the following errors:

051116 16:19:38 [ERROR] /home/ndbdev/jmiller/builds/libexec/mysqld: Can't find
file: '.
/cluster_replication/binlog_index.frm' (errno: 24)

errno: 24 is actually:
OS error code  24:  Too many open files

So the message is not correct in stating that it can't find the file, it just can not open the file.

How to repeat:
See http://bugs.mysql.com/15019

Suggested fix:
Change message:
051116 16:19:38 [ERROR] /home/ndbdev/jmiller/builds/libexec/mysqld: Can not open file: './cluster_replication/binlog_index.frm' (errno: 24)

Error message will now say "Could not open file (errno: 24)"
Pushed to 5.0.19 and 5.1.6
[24 Jan 2006 11:45] Magnus Blåudd 
Not pushed to 5.1 yet. Only to 5.0.19

When you say not pushed in 5.1 yet do you imply that it will be pushed in the near future? If I add a changelog entry I also need to close the bugreport, which would be the wrong course of action if this bug is also to be fixed in 5.1. Changing status to Need Doc Info.
