Actually, in the case the host would be the LFS version used to build mysql, which you already answered (and I snipped). That is the host I was concerned about. > I disagree, unless you can convince me that the second pass which > uses different parameters to the test script doesn't matter.

Well, here's convincing: If the test fails in pass one, the developers don't make any attempt to run the pass 2 tests. The pass 2 tests only *further* test a build that passed "initial" testing. > It is not proven to me. Ever, not once, in several *years*. And I > am a BLFS editor.

You just never entered data in a form that was similar to the test case that failed. If you had, you would have corrupted data, pure and simple. However, one cannot assume how a reader my use mysqld. Non-ASCII, extensive data comparison, etc. That's what the tests are for. -- Archaic Want control, education, and security from your operating system?
