Comment 1 for bug 1217747

Hi Kris, thanks a lot for reporting this - very good point indeed. I'll look into this. You don't happen to have a patch for this already?
I assume the value of slave_open_temp_tables ca be queried via the SQL interface?
Do you think it would make sense to have a counter or timer (e.g. number of retries) that restricts how many times this check is performed?
