Comment 2 for bug 1034717

Reproduced as follows:

mysql -e 'create database test1;'
mysql test < reproduce.sql
mysql test1 < reproduce.sql

pt-table-sync --execute h=localhost,P=3306,D=test,t=table1 D=test1

It is failing here: my $highest_power = floor(log($n)/log($base)); when $base=1 the denom. is zero. That may be because the ord of '1001' and '10873' (the first and last column values) is same.

This seems to be fixing it:

Tested with different values.
