Valgrind warning with progress reporting

[Philip Stoev]

When executing SHOW PROCESSLIST concurrently with SELECT queries, valgrind reports the following:

==3857== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
==3857== at 0x6D2916: __printf_fp (in /lib/libc-2.12.1.so)

line 2022 in sql_show.cc is

      protocol->store(thd_info->progress, 3, &store_buffer);

let me know if a test case or a core file is required.

Attempted to repeat by running mysql-test-run --valgrind t/_a.test (will attach the file)
and simultaneously running
while true ; do mysql -uroot -A --socket=./var/tmp/mysqld.1.sock -e 'show processlist'; sleep 2; done

test passed without produce any valgrind warnings.

Please provide a testcase.

[Sergey Petrunia (sergefp)]

Changing importance to Medium as this is something that's not easily repeatable
