Description:
When a test case fails, mtr sometimes prints a correct line number, sometimes something else. Also, it sometimes prints the file name of the current file and sometimes not.

It would be better if it printed a full stack trace with filename and line number of all included files.

How to repeat:
==== bug_1.test ====
--let $i = 2
while ($i) {
  dec $i;
  if (!$i) {
    execute this nonsense query on line 5;
  }
}
==== end of bug_1.test ====

==== bug_2.test ====
--let $i= 2
while ($i) {
  --dec $i
  if (!$i) {
    --source t/bug_1.test
  }
}
==== end of bug_2.test ====

bug_1 fails with this message:

CURRENT_TEST: main.bug_1
mysqltest: At line 7: query 'execute this nonsense query on line 5' failed: 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'nonsense query on line 5' at line 1

Note that the error was on line 5 but the test reports line 7.

bug_2 fails with exactly the same message: there is no indication that the line number refers to another file than the top-level file that was executed.

      Bug #59002 Please make mtr print correct file and line number when tests fail
      This patchs adds printing of a file stack (with line numbers)
      It does not fix the problem of a failure in the non-first iteration of a loop
[6 Jan 2011 14:26] Bjørn Munch
If a failure occurs inside a while() except in the first iteration, then:

 - The line number reported is the end curly brace of the while
 - If the line is a source command, information about the sourced file will be missing.

Fixing this would requite a major rewrite of the loop handling.
