Description:
Found during the build of 5.5.3-m3:

FreeBSD seems to use different network policies:

How to repeat:
Run the test suite.

Suggested fix:
FreeBSD: Check the reason.

RPM: that difference to tar.gz installs is correct.

Windows: Why does Perl post-processing not eliminate that line?

The value of net_retry_count is explicitly set to 1000000 for freebsd in configure.in. This was done sometime last millennium with an explanation "Adding fix for interrupted reads".  Just my observation...

Joerg,

it seems the bug on Windows is not reproducible with the latest
mysql-trunk-bugfixing (built out of source).

Where can I find the binaries to reproduce this problem?
[4 May 2010 18:11] Joerg Bruehe
These differences were encountered during the 5.5.3-m3 release build,
so the published binaries (packages) should show them.
[5 May 2010 14:08] Alexander Nozdrin
Could not reproduce with downloaded mysql-noinstall-5.5.3-m3-win32.zip
on Windows XP 32bit.
[5 May 2010 14:41] Joerg Bruehe
The failure is shown in the latest log of tests during the build of 5.5.3-m3 on our 32 bit Windows host.

It also is shown in a previous log of tests during the build of 5.5.3-m3 on our 64 bit Windows host. In the latest run, the suite was not taken for machine reasons, so I can only speculate about that.

      Patch for Bug#52410 (Test "mysqld--help-*": further output differences).
      
      That was a pure test issue -- filter implementation in Perl did not work
      on some platform (the bug occurred on Windows Server 2008 with
      Cygwin Perl 5.10.0).
