Description:
Build based on changeset
  1.1880 05/02/21 20:41:48 monty@mysql.com +8 -0
  Generate warning in ha_delete_table() if files is missing in handler

Same error on 'ita2' and 'octane2-64bit':

variables                      [ fail ]

Errors are (from...) :
.../mysqltest: At line 127: query 'set @@transaction_alloc_block_size=1024*20-1' failed: 2013: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
(the last lines may be the most important ones)

Ending Tests
Shutting-down MySQL daemon

master not cooperating with mysqladmin, will try manual kill
./mysql-test-run: kill: (21877) - No such pid
master refused to die. Sending SIGKILL
./mysql-test-run: kill: (21877) - No such pid
Master shutdown finished
Slave shutdown finished

How to repeat:
Build + test on either machine.

A tree is saved on 'ita2' as '~/KEEP_503_20050222_classic'.
