Problem : The basic reason for the failure was the change in the connection 
          attributes introduced as a part of WL#5924. The lenght of packet 
          with information that was sent over when a client's connected to 
          the server was changed as a part of this worklog. 
          But the packet information that is sent across from the client 
          to the server is of greater length in case of windows compared to the 
          information sent in case of linux which was caused due to the 
          WL5924 implementation.

          This is because apart from the all the common information was added
          on the client connect string (WL5924) we also have few extra 
          parameters specifically for windows platform :

          Only on windows:
              _command_line : the process command line
              _thread : the calling thread id from GetCurrentThreadId()

          In this test the value of max_allowed_packet is reduced when the 
          server starts using the option passed in the .opt file. So when 
          mysqltest tries to connect to the server, on windows the client 
          information that is sent exceeds the max_allowed_packet of the 
          server which causes the failure.

Fix : The problem is fixed by appropriately modifying the max_allowed_packet of
      two servers and modifying the test accordingly.
