Well, RHEL-5 is now in late phase where only serious problems and security bugs get fixed and this bug doesn't seem too serious to me, since it is even hard reproducible, so hardly hit by customers as well. There is also almost no chance mysql-5.0 gets updated, since upstream doesn't support this version any more. So, closing this bug for now; we can re-open it if something from above changes.
thanks for the evaluation; marking the test not to run on RHEL5 then
