+#    Waits until the passed number ($count_sessions) of concurrent sessions was
+#    observed via
+#       SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Threads_connected'
+#    or the operation times out.
+#    Note: Starting with 5.1 we could also use
+#          SELECT COUNT(*) FROM information_schema.processlist
+#          I stay with "SHOW STATUS LIKE 'Threads_connected'" because this
+#          runs in all versions 5.0+

+#    OR typical example of a test which uses more than one session
+#       Such a test could harm successing tests if there is no server shutdown
+#       and start between.cw
+#
+#       If the testing box is slow than the disconnect of sessions belonging to
+#       the current test might happen when the successing test gets executed.
+#       This means the successing test might see activities like unexpected
+#       rows within the general log or the PROCESSLIST.
