The fix for case #3 was pushed but the bug report never got updated.

Description: Annoying effect: ---------------- 1. "var" points to a directory which does not exist > ls -l var lrwxrwxrwx 1 mleich ..... var -> /dev/shm/var_4_XJZ9 > ls -l /dev/shm/var_4_XJZ9 ls: Zugriff auf /dev/shm/var_4_XJZ9 nicht möglich: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden (In english: No access to .... file or directory does not exist) 2. IMHO positive case: > ./mysql-test-run.pl rpl_init_slave_func Logging: ./mysql-test-run.pl rpl_init_slave_func MySQL Version 5.1.30 mkdir /work2/5.1/mysql-5.1-rpl/mysql-test/var: Die Datei existiert bereits at lib/My/Platform.pm line 116 (The file exists already ....) \nToo long tmpdir path '/work2/5.1/mysql-5.1-rpl/mysql-test/var/tmp' creating a shorter one... - using tmpdir: '/tmp/NvX2us4Ak4' Checking supported features... .... Collecting tests... vardir: /work2/5.1/mysql-5.1-rpl/mysql-test/var Removing old var directory... - WARNING: Using the 'mysql-test/var' symlink mysql-test-run: *** ERROR: The destination for symlink /work2/5.1/mysql-5.1-rpl/mysql-test/var does not exist Minor issue: I do not see that the old var directory was removed = the message is suspicious. But I assume that the current behaviour - reuse existing symlink to var dfirectory - abort with error message if the symlink is "ill" is one of the best solutions. 3. The annoying case: ./mysql-test-run.pl --mem --timer rpl_init_slave_func Logging: ./mysql-test-run.pl --mem --timer rpl_init_slave_func Not a SCALAR reference at lib/mtr_report.pm line 50. Can't read options ./mysql-test-run.pl [ OPTIONS ] [ TESTCASE ] Options to control what engine/variation to run ..... 4. positive case: ./mysql-test-run.pl --mem rpl_init_slave_func Logging: ./mysql-test-run.pl --mem rpl_init_slave_func MySQL Version 5.1.30 mkdir /work2/5.1/mysql-5.1-rpl/mysql-test/var: Die Datei existiert bereits at lib/My/Platform.pm line 116 \nToo long tmpdir path '/work2/5.1/mysql-5.1-rpl/mysql-test/var/tmp' creating a shorter one... - using tmpdir: '/tmp/D0l5YxA1mq' ... ================================================== TEST RESULT TIME (ms) -------------------------------------------------- main.rpl_init_slave_func [ pass ] 53 -------------------------------------------------- ... The messages of MTR in case 3) are not helpful. It looks like the combination of 1. var is a "ill" symlink 2. MTR runs with the options "--mem --timer" is required for getting this effect.
