    Bug #20144839 AFTER UPDATING TO MYSQL 5.6.22 SERVER CRASHES ON EVERY START ATTEMPT

    Description:

    push_warning_printf function is used to print the warning message
    to the client. So this function should not invoke while recovering
    the server. Moreover current_thd is NULL while starting the server.

    Solution:

    Avoiding the warning to be printed while recovery.

And it present in both PXB 2.2.11 and MySQL 5.6.24. Apparently it doesn't work in all cases.
