Sorry, I can only really report how the bug arose on my system. Reproducing it 
would presumably involve creating an environment where Akonadi is initialised 
and then trying to access resources via Akonadi. Without some kind of test 
suite, which I presume does not already exist for Akonadi, that would 
potentially be a lot of work.

Yes, it is difficult to navigate to the commit on the appropriate branch, and 
the involvement of mysql_get_client_info in that patch also confused me.

Thank you for activating this again.
