Thanks, Dan, that sounds eminently sensible. In that case, the doc bug becomes: http://www.mysql.com/doc/F/L/FLUSH.html which says:
[[[You can also access each of the commands shown above with the mysqladmin utility, using the flush-hosts, flush-logs, reload, or flush-tables commands.]]] right after the table listing FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. It also means that my plan to write a shell script to reset master & slave databases after a failover will need to be modified, since I can't use a read lock to stabilize the files.
