This is caused by a bug in mysql-50.24a. ​http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=22227

The workaround specifies using a my_global.h, but I can't find one on my disk. It has been fixed in 5.0.26 so whenever that gets updated it should fix rb-mysql too.

Upgraded mysql5 --> 5.0.26, which should resolve this. r20029.

Better formatting of console output.
