Thank you for your bug report. 1. There is no bug within the test itself because there is drop table if exists t1,t2; before the create table t1 .... I also made some experiments which showed that whatever (no table,t1,t2,t1 and t2) of the tables exists drop table if exists t1,t2; will remove them all. 2. I was unable to reproduce the problem with mysql-4.1-build ChangeSet@1.2684.1.6, 2007-10-25 compile-pentium-debug-max So I can only assume that the observed problem was a temporary failure caused by whatever problem. One thing which surprises me, is that the problem happened most probably during a "make test", "make test-bt" or similar. That means there were several tests containing "drop table if exists ..." executed and getting a "pass" before "innodb_handler" started and failed. Why ?

1) I agree to the remark about the test being correct, otherwise I would have spotted it myself (and the error would not have occurred on one platform only). 2) I am not surprised it could not be reproduced on any developer machine, as it occurred (in the build) on that one peculiar platform only: A Linux (x86) still using glibc 2.2 with a patch to support many threads. It would be some very queer chance to have a bug show up on that platform only but *not* be related to its special properties. 3) If I had had an explanation why only this "drop table" did not achieve the desired effect, I would have written it. 4) I checked the build logs of later builds (4.1.22 and 4.1.23) of that host, and neither showed the problem. Also, no other host had it (expected). So "Can't repeat" is the appropriate status.
