Description:
PB reports that test online_backup fails on "linux x86 sysqa" platform. Problem occurs when tests starts server using MTR script. It reports:

mysql-test-run: *** ERROR: opt file referense $SIMPLE_PARSER_OPT that is unknown

A possible cause of the problem is that old version of MTR is used:

=======================================================
  WARNING: Using mysql-test-run.pl version 1!  
=======================================================

How to repeat:
Seen on PB for mysql-6.0-backup tree.

Thank you for the report.

Set to "Verified" as problem is documented in pushbuild:

This had not been assigned to me.

MTR v1 can no longer be used to run the entire test suite, as tests have started using features only availiable in MTR v2.  Fixes have been backported only where it affects use with --start-and-exit which was the main reason for still using v1.
