Hello list!

While monkeying around with my testserver I noticedm
that giving goofy parameters to mysqladmin causes it
to segfault and dump core :

(haven't got mail configured on the server, so I
just snatched the info I thought was of importance)

bash-2.03# uname -a
SunOS simon 5.8 Generic_108529-11 i86pc i386 i86pc

bash-2.03# uptime

bash-2.03# perl -v
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i86pc-solaris

MySQL was compiled from source and has been working flawlessly for the
past 118 days.

I realize that -E and extended-status is kind of... well, goofy, but it
illustrates my point.


Cheers,
Markus
