Description:
As shipped, mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql for 5.0.11 is missing a
comma at line 512, so mysql reports the error ...

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 472: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'CHARACTER SET utf8' at line 42

How to repeat:
run the script

Suggested fix:
                           ) DEFAULT '' NOT NULL,   # <-- ADD MISSING COMMA
                 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8;

Thanks for bug report. I was able to reproduce the bug. In my case I got follow message:
mysql -u root mysql <mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql
ERROR 1060 (42S21) at line 22: Duplicate column name 'File_priv'

The mysql_fix_privilege_tables.sql script does not bring mysql table structures up to date for 5.0.11. After correcting the script (missing comma above) and running it, our mysql db had many differences from what the fix script tries to enforce. In case our situation is not unique, here is the script we needed to run to correct those differences:
