Those two bugs are easily reproducible on CPU << Pentium Classic.

It was downgraded, I guess, to enable the propagation of the last mysql 
security uploads to testing.  The problem affects only us, the "second 
class" citizens that have old machines.  It was tagged "wontfix" because 
Christian Hammers (the mysql maintainer) believes that it won't be fixed 
by upstream.  I tend to agree with him with regret.

I would be very grateful if you tell me how to do it.  It will resolve 
the issue at least for our Cyrix CPUs, but will remain for 486.

For me this bug is RC, because Debian is supposed to support CPUs >=i486 
for the i386 architecture.
