Description:
In the MySQL 6.0 manual section 13.7.2 at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/se-falcon-configuration.html#option_mysqld_falcon_r... the specified default value of the option falcon_record_memory_max is "20" (probably meaning 20 MB). In reality, the default value is 262144000, which is 250 MB (see Bug#41870).

How to repeat:
Compare

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/6.0/en/se-falcon-configuration.html#option_mysqld_falcon_r...

to 

mysql> SHOW VARIABLES LIKE '%falcon_record_memory_max%';
+--------------------------+-----------+
| Variable_name            | Value     |
+--------------------------+-----------+
| falcon_record_memory_max | 262144000 |
+--------------------------+-----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

Suggested fix:
Update the default value in the docs to reflect the real default.
