Description:
mysqltest: At line 1228: command "echo "replace_result a b; echo OK;" | $MYSQL_TEST 2>&1" failed

mysqltest: At line 1818: command "echo "die test of die;" | $MYSQL_TEST 2>&1" failed with wrong error: 127

How to repeat:

All the errors seem to occur when we pipe something to mysqltest. I think error code 127 comes from "exit status" and thus we might need to decode it better and print out information about the things we can get with WIFSIGNALED etc. 

Conclusion: The printout in case of a failed --exec in mysqltest need to be improved.
