Description:
When running the testsuite as root after compiling 5.0.51, it fails completely with such an error:

ERROR: Failed to start master mysqld 0

I'll attach a complete log of the testsuite run. This issue is fixed in 5.0.52 already, and doesn't happen when running the testsuite with a non-root user. 

Getting a patch for 5.0.51 would be nice for distributions shipping the Community Edition of MySQL.

How to repeat:
Run the testsuite as root user.

There's an easy workaround: Use --mysqld=--user=root when running the test suite.

Closing as duplicate since it is already fixed in 5.0.52.
