I am running MySQL in ANSI standard mode. However the following statement is giving unexpected result. Am I missing something?

Here's a part of my my.ini, indicating that I am in ANSI mode.
# The MySQL server [mysqld] port=3306 #socket=MySQL skip-locking set-variable = sql-mode=ansi
This should work, but when I try it, it doesn't work. (The sql_mode variable is set to 4, which is the numeric equivalent of the ANSI_QUOTES option. I believe what's happening is that there is an attempt to match prefixes of option names that is done incorrectly.)
I'll file a bug report. In the meantime, you can use this instead:
[mysqld] ansi
Oops, sql-mod=ansi not working isn't a bug after all, at least not if you're using MySQL 4.x. The ansi shortcut was added in 4.1.1:

Er, that should be: "at least not if you're using MYSQL 4.0.x".
