This is not a good idea. Most likely it will fail on the autobuilders or during an auto-testing run then. If the upstream test suite doesn't have provisions to start and reliably stop a mysqld process (and you can't easily add that), it's probably best to not run the test suite. -ch -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
