Oh, nice find. So then it seems it _is_ only the missing '.' in @INC.

In that case, either of my two proposed patches should work to solve the
problem (and there is no need for the -U in the second patch).
Otto, I'd suggest committing the second patch, adding `perl -I.` on the
command line to run the test (you can omit the -U). This should be quite
safe, and it sounds like it will fix the problem.

And I'll see if I can fix mysql-test-run.pl upstream to not need '.' in
@INC. Otherwise, this problem will probably show up in other places sooner
or later...

Ok, cool, I thought I'd need eg. some kind of virtual/container image and/or
a system running unstable....

Thanks,
