Indeed,

  {"master-retry-count", 0,
   "The number of tries the slave will make to connect to the master before 
giving up.",
   &master_retry_count, &master_retry_count, 0, GET_ULONG,
   REQUIRED_ARG, 3600*24, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},

this doesn't make any sense, why would retry *count* be set to the
number of seconds in a day? It's confusing. Is master retrying every
second?

If not - would you mind changing it to 80000? or 100000? Or something
else, whatever you like.

I know. I always disliked assert.inc as mysqltest is perfectly capable
of comparing the expected result with an actual one and failing the test
on any difference. In fact, it's what mysqltest was written for in the
first place. assert.inc makes the result look prettier at the expence of
making the debugging much more difficult. Which, in my opinion, is a
wrong tradeoff, because nobody cares how pretty the result file is as
long as the test passes. But when the test fails, it's debugging that
matters.

But as we don't have a coding style that says "don't use assert.inc",
it's ultimately up to you.
