The minimal value for this MALLOC_OVERHEAD which is defined in my_global.h Setting a variable to a value out of range should issue a warning

There are several system variables (if not most of them, or even all), which are silently truncated into their limits. This is standard behaviour. One might prefer exact messages, but this is more a feature request than a bug report. It is not possible to destroy the default keycache. This is now documented. My patch gives the user a note, if he tries.

Documented in 5.0.12 changelog: <para>Trying to drop the default keycache by setting <literal>@@global.key_buffer_size</literal> to zero now returns a warning that the default keycache cannot be dropped. (Bug #10473)</para>
Description: If tried to set system variable 'key_buffer_size' is equal to zero, it can't set to zero. How to repeat: 1. delimiter // 2. create database test// 3. use test 4. set @@global.key_buffer_size=0// 5. select @@global.key_buffer_size// 6. The execution of step (5) displays the result as follows, +--------------------------+ | @@global.key_buffer_size | +--------------------------+ | 8 | +--------------------------+ 7. Expected Results: As mentioned in the manual the system variable 'key_buffer_size' should be set to zero. 8. Actual Results : The execution displays the value of 'key_buffer_size' is equal to 8.
