Bug #131 --max-delayed-threads seems to have no effect

Setting --max-delayed-threads to 1 doesn't prevent more than
one insert delayed thread handler from invoking:

(rhols221:/my/bk/mysql-4.0) ./sql/mysqld --delayed_queue_size=1 --max-delayed-threads=1&
[1] 28752
(rhols221:/my/bk/mysql-4.0) 030307  9:58:42  InnoDB: Started
./sql/mysqld: ready for connections

(rhols221:~) mysqladmin var|grep -e delayed_q -e max_d|sed s/" "//g;
|delayed_queue_size|1|
|max_delayed_threads|1|

Then, in another window, leaving above as it is:

Then, in third window, leaving above as are:

This one locks up. It's waiting for the first insert delay
to relief it, because max rows for insert delay was set to 1.

Then, in fourth window, leaving all above as are:
-------------------------------------------------

This should have been converted to regular INSERT, but obviously
it went as INSERT DELAYED. Let's see in a window how mysqladmin
extended looks:

(rhols221:~) mysqladmin ex|grep Dela
| Delayed_insert_threads         | 2     |
| Delayed_writes                 | 0     |
| Delayed_errors                 | 0     |

Delayed_insert_threads comes 2, even when:

(rhols221:~) mysqladmin var|grep -e delayed_q -e max_d|sed s/" "//g;
|delayed_queue_size|1|
|max_delayed_threads|1|

Fixed in MySQL 4.0
