For cases where a test exposes a libmysql bug, especially if it is
something that acts differently across different versions of libmysql,
the test should remain a FAIL, but it should point to the mysql.com bug
# so end users realize that they have a version of libmysql with that
specific bug.

In cases where there is no agreement whether something is a bug or just
undefined behaviour it would be really nice if the library authors could
work this out and agree on a common behaviour and failing that PHP
should try to mask the internal Oracle/MySQL squabbles and present
consistent behaviour to the user.
