Description:
Distincts row number is returned in a spatial query. I tried rebuilding the spatial index but it doesn't work in solaris 8.

Nevertheless,rebuilding the spatial index in windows xp and linux(Fedora Core 6) works fine and returns the same number of rows. :|

I think that when MySQL use the Spatial Index, the spatial index doesn't return the right results.

How to repeat:
unzip temp_table.zip into a MySQL Database and tried with de selects in the file error_mbrintersects.sql

  Bug #29070: Error in spatial index 
  The MBR for a key is stored on disk. Therefore it must be in 
  platform independent byte order.
  Fixed by reading and writing to/from the MBR in platform
  independent byte order.

The patch looks ok to push for me.

Please fix a small coding style mismatch before push:

Wrong coding style, please fix to:

       mbr_ptr+= sizeof(double);

Sorry, need to check it more carefully.
Unticking the "review done" checkbox.

  Bug #29070: Error in spatial index
  1. Threat MBR for a key as double[] and convert it only
  when about to store it on disk.
  2. Remove the redundant function get_double().

A byte-order issue in writing a spatial index to disk caused
bad index files on some systems.
