Description:
The source code for MySQL 6.0 contains the comment "Solaris is somewhat retarded".

How to repeat:
Look at extra/libevent/epoll.c.

Suggested fix:
Replace phrase with one with more adequate wording, such as "Solaris behaves suboptimally". Replace ironic wording of following sentence with dry facts.

      Cleaned up the language in the comments. Intend to 
      push to 5.0 and 5.1 as well with changes where 
      appropriate.
      
      Note that libevent and libedit are external source
      maintained elsewhere, and these changes will most
      likely be reverted on (any) later update/import of
      code.
