Description:
Pushbuild tells us that this test fails fairly often in 5.1 trees.  It appears to have first shown up in the mysql-5.1-maint tree, here:

https://intranet.mysql.com/secure/pushbuild/showpush.pl?dir=mysql-5.1-new-maint&order=589

The failure happens only on the vm-win2003-64-b instance.  It looks like:

mysqltest: In included file ".\extra\rpl_tests\rpl_row_charset.test": At line 22: failed in 'select master_pos_wait('master-bin.000001', 523)': 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Attempts to reproduce on other Win2003 64-bit machines have failed (that is, the test passes).

How to repeat:
Unknown, however it shows up regularly on the one affected server.  Perhaps using the same method as PushBuild uses (instead of using a cmake build) would show something?  It could be a problem with the toolchain on that server, or something related to the vmware instance, or perhaps a genuine bug in MySQL.
