-->Hi,
-->
-->Are the master and slave located on two different machines, or on one
-->single machine?


The master and slave are located on 2 different machines.

-->Are you using symlinks to place tables or databases at other
locations
-->than the datadir?
Yes, in the db directory under the datadir. I have tables which are one
name symlinked to the tables which where altered. These fake tables or
tables which are synonyms to the src tables did not have any actions
performed on them at this moment in time.

For example 

recent_members.frm -> /var/lib/mysql/ffadult_recent/recentmembers.frm
recent_members.MYI -> /var/lib/mysql/ffadult_recent/recentmembers.MYI
recent_members.MYD -> /var/lib/mysql/ffadult_recent/recentmembers.MYD

The tables altered where recentmembers(_*)

-->If yes:
-->* How did you do it (with manual Unix 'ln -s', with
-->CREATE TABLE ... DATA DIRECTORY= INDEX DIRECTORY=, another way?).
-->* Did you do it the same way on master and slave?


Used ln -s 

-->
-->Do master and slave have the same tree structure (i.e. do the
-->directories ./ff_recent/ and /var/lib/mysql/ff_recent all exist on
the 2
-->machines?).

Yes

-->
-->If you could provide a simple complete testcase like:
-->"create a symlinked table on the master by following these steps,
then
-->do this ALTER, then do that ALTER", this could surely help us.

I wish I could but all my servers (> 56)  are in production. I will try
late at night, so our users are not affected. Anything for the mysql
team, thanks for your hard work.
