VR> What do you mean "didn't work properly'? What exactly was
VR> wrong with mysql_fix_privilege_tables?

Sorry, cannot reproduce the error. The result was that some of the
tables were corrected, some not. Anyway, even old privilege tables
shouldn't IMHO cause the SHOW DATABASES to work. In addition, I
corrected the tables manually and are ok now.

VR> In 4.0.14 --safe-show-database is enabled by default.

I know, another reason why I'm so confused ;-)

Is there any way to debug this?

I attach my SHOW VARIABLES. (which are btw also accessable by normal
users)
