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 12:57pm up 119 day(s), 20 min(s), 2 users, load average: 0.02, 0.03, 0.02 bash-2.03# perl -v This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i86pc-solaris bash-2.03# mysqladmin -V mysqladmin Ver 8.23 Distrib 4.0.1-alpha, for pc-solaris2.8 on i386 bbash-2.03# mysqladmin version mysqladmin Ver 8.23 Distrib 4.0.1-alpha, for pc-solaris2.8 on i386 Copyright (C) 2000 MySQL AB & MySQL Finland AB & TCX DataKonsult AB This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

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