Stas,

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.
