The test case is attached.

Ah, I didn't realize they re-implemented the client library. That would
explain all the test failures.

Where do you see this? The only documentation for MYSQL_TIME that I
know is here:

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/c-api-prepared-statement-data-structures.html

And it doesn't say anything about time_type (nor st_mysql_time, for
that matter).

While I sympathize with MariaDB efforts, I am afraid I don't have the
time to help them debug their new client library. Re-creating ODB
functionality test cases using the C API is a very tedious process.
They are, however, welcome to use ODB themselves for testing their
code.
