Description:
On Windows, using ActiveState Perl, the new mysql-test-run.pl does not work because in function collect_mysqld_features(), on line 1239; mtr_run($exe_mysqld,...) cannot redirect the output to the specified file.  It goes to stdout instead.  A little later, when the file is not found, the script quits.

How to repeat:
Run mysql-test-run.pl on Windows with ActiveState perl
