Description:
http://svn.mysql.com/fisheye/browse/~raw,r=491/mysql-administrator/trunk/testing/unit-test...

contains:
memset(&status, sizeof(status), 0);

which has wrong order of arguments.

I guess that applies to other branches, too.

How to repeat:
less that file

Suggested fix:
memset(&status, 0, sizeof(status));

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

PS: Good catch! I checked all other files in our repositories. All of them are fine where memset is used.

Actually, I did not search all files in the first run. I found 5-6 other places where this was wrong. Thanks again for the finding and report.
