[debian-mysql] Bug#715065: Acknowledgement (libmysqlclient16: random "Lost connection" errors due to failure of handling EINTR correctly)

[Marc Lehmann]

More experimenting and further digging shows simple way to reproduce it:
run mysql interactively and execute a long-running command:

   mysql> select sleep(60);

Then resize your terminal window three times, to generate three SIGWINCH
signals, and...:

   ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

This looks like upstream bug http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=65956, although
it's not clear to me whether upstream fully understands the problem.

According to that ticket, the bug has been fixed upstream, but the fix is
not in debian.
