- unpack the attached archive in <mysql-basedir>/mysql-test. It should create
'stress_test_basedir' folder;
- on Linux/Solaris, run as  
perl ./stress_test_basedir/run.pl

Notes:
run.pl is a wrapper for MTR to start server, and mysql-stress-test 
to run a multi-thread stress test. 
For mysql-stress-test you need to have perl with threads on the top of your path 

The screen output should contain usual MTR output for server startup 
(unless you chose to skip server start), then briefly go through 
preparation/initialization/configuration stages, 
and then start rapidly producing lines like

not ok
test_loop[0:0 0:84]: TID 1 test: 'stress2'  Errors: Severity S5: 1

test_loop[0:0 0:85]: TID 4 test: 'stress1'  Errors: No Errors. Test Passed OK

main: Thread ID 6 TID 6 started
ok
test_loop[0:0 0:86]: TID 3 test: 'stress1'  Errors: No Errors. Test Passed OK

etc.

If the deadlock is reached, the output stops. 

Please use perl ./stress_test_basedir/run.pl --help command to see available options.
