Description:
mysql-test-run.sh no longer works for running tests in a build tree, because it miscomputes $BASEDIR.

How to repeat:
unpack tarball
cd mysql-5.0.30
make
make test

Fails to run any tests :-(

Suggested fix:
diff -Naur mysql-5.0.30.orig/mysql-test/mysql-test-run.sh mysql-5.0.30/mysql-test/mysql-test-run.sh

Thank you for a problem report. In 5.0.32-BK we have now:

...
# BASEDIR is always above mysql-test directory ...
MYSQL_TEST_DIR=`pwd`
cd ..

if [ -d ./sql ] ; then
   SOURCE_DIST=1
else
   BINARY_DIST=1

  # ... one level for tar.gz, two levels for a RPM installation
  if [ ! -f ./bin/mysql_upgrade ] ; then
     # Has to be RPM installation
    cd ..
  fi
fi
BASEDIR=`pwd`

Please, check if this will work in your case. You may also try to use mysql-test-run.pl as a workaround.
