Comment 6 for bug 1425976

I have patched my 3.0.4 as follows:

sub get_cxn {
...
   if ( VersionParser->new($dbh) >= '5.1.29' ) {
+ if ( $o->get('check-binlog-format') ) {
      $sql = 'SELECT @@binlog_format';

...

               . "You will need to manually set binlog_format to 'STATEMENT' "
               . "before running this tool.\n";
         }
      }
+ }
   }

and I am using --nocheck-binlog-format on the command line to mirror this parameter from pt-table-checksum
