How to repeat:
https://intranet.mysql.com/secure/pushbuild/getlog.pl?dir=mysql-6.0-runtime&entry=kosipov@...

Repeatable on my own box (intel 32-bit, 2 core, compile-pentium-valgrind-max)

Suggested fix:
The server apparently is performing some platform-specific rounding before
setting this variable. Either we should agree to change the server behavior
or make the test platform-idependent

      Fix for Bug#36875: Problem was, that there some warnings has been written containing values,
      which were determined by the server depending on the os. The solution is to disable warnings in general.
      The check of the values only have been done for Linux and Windows. Now, the check has been changed to the check of
      ranges (not more concrete values) being near by the expected (set) values.
