As I wrote in the bug report, this may be caused by MTR2 stopping mysqld wi= th kill -9, which prevents tools like gcov, safemalloc, and valgrind from operating correctly, as they need to do some processing at shutdown. For a similar problem, see Bug#43418: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=3D43418 I already fixed Bug#43418 in the MariaDB 5.1 tree. If there is interest, I would be willing to release the fixes to MySQL/Sun under the BSD-new license (or maybe GPLv2 is in any case sufficient for mysql-test-run stuff?). - Kristian.
