Sure, it's just the standard "make test" sequence in mysql's source.
If you want to do exactly what I'm talking about, grab the latest
mysql SRPM off the Fedora download server and "rpmbuild --rebuild" it.
There's a very long regression test suite (much larger than ours :-()
and when it fails, it's invariably in one of the replication-related
tests.
