=== Problem ===
The test is dependent on binlog positions and checks
to see if the command 'START SLAVE' functions correctly
with the 'UNTIL' clause added to it. The 'UNTIL' clause
is added to specify that the slave should start and run
until the SQL thread reaches a given point in the master
binary log or in the slave relay log.
The test uses hard coded values for MASTER_LOG_POS and
RELAY_LOG_POS, instead of extracting it using
query_get_value() function. There is a test
'rpl.rpl_row_until' which does the similar thing but uses
query_get_value() function to set the values of
MASTER_LOG_POS/ RELAY_LOG_POS. To be precise,
rpl.rpl_row_until is a modified version of
engines/func.rpl_row_until.test.
The use of hard coded values may lead the slave to stop at a position
which may differ from the expected position in the binlog file,
an example being the failure of engines/funcs.rpl_row_until in
mysql-5.1 given as:
"query 'select * from t2' failed. Table 'test.t2' doesn't exist".
In this case, the slave actually ran a couple of extra commands
as a result of which the slave first deleted the table and then
ran a select query on table, leading to the above mentioned failure.
=== Fix ===
1) Fixed the code for failure seen in rpl.rpl_row_until.
This test was also failing although the symptoms of
failure were different.
2) Copied the contents from rpl.rpl_row_until into
into engines/funcs.rpl.rpl_row_until.
3) Updated engines/funcs.rpl_row_until.result accordingly.
