Last I checked there was no way to make the system tables use anything
other than MyISAM, which means they're not safe. That opens up a window
that cannot be fixed. Unless they've actually changed that in 5.1, I
think it was 5.0 when I checked it (could've been 4.x, I don't actually
*use* mysql so..)
