5.1 is still a supported version of Mysql. It is run on many production
servers, so I think we must support it - it's no use to run tests on the

I'm not arguing about test portability or the like. All I'm after is the
counterpart to the checkbox entry "Try a snapshot (PHP x.y) (Feedback)",
as found at bugs.php.net :-).
This is no more than a friendly request to check against latest and
greatest to avoid hitting bugs already fixed in libmysql. Latest GA is
5.1.58, if I'm not mistaken,
http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html . You are testing again
5.1.4x. Generally speaking, libmysql 5.1.4x won't see updates, just like
PHP 5.2 won't.
Regarding test portability ... you probably can imagine how annoyed I
have been when orginally writing tests and hitting non portable stuff,
deperately trying to actually test for something.
