I checked saved test failure reports, and I could not yet find an occurrence in 5.0 or 5.1 builds, only in 4.1. I will check again with the next 5.0 build series.

Ok, 5.0++ has a little different logic for this. But I found that the variable "start_lineno" probably should be initialized to zero in initializer and also a quick backport from 5.0, setting "start_lineno" back to 0 before diffing the result file. Hope this helps.

Pushed to 5.1.12, 5.0 and 4.1 a fix that initalizes the variable start_lineno to 0 in initializer. Not much to document I guess.

No changelog entry needed.

Description: When running the test suite, the "mysqltest" client will write differences between the expected and the actual result to the test log. Sometimes, this writing will contain the line number, and sometimes it will not, and I have not discovered any rule controlling this. As an example, take version 4.1.21 on Windows (win2003-x86) and test "mysqldump": In almost all builds, the line will be mysqltest: Result length mismatch but in the "classic" build, it is mysqltest: At line 1: Result length mismatch Same effect in tests "cast", "fulltext" (all Windows as described above), "func_misc" (embedded: only s390 will give the line number), "func_misc", "heap_auto_increment", "innodb" on a case-insensitive file system: -mysqltest: Result length mismatch +mysqltest: At line NNN: Result length mismatch ... -osx-imac-x86-4.1-standard.log embedded +osx-tiger-ppc-4.1-standard.log embedded +osx-tiger-ppc-64bit-4.1-standard.log embedded +powermacg5-4.1-standard.log embedded "myisam" on aix52-64bit (no line number in "normal" run, but given in "ps-protocol" run, for all products), and many other tests. How to repeat: Run a failing test on several platforms, in several products, or using both protocols and compare the files. The cited examples will be archived with the 4.1.21 release build.
