Description:
Rule: "zero padding on insert". For any change of
a BINARY(n) target, e.g. INSERT or UPDATE or "SET
variable=value", if length(target) > length(source),
pad target with trailing 0x00 ('\0') bytes. It
does happen if the target is a column. It doesn't happen
if the target is a variable or parameter.

This test was originally mentioned in a comment for bug#9278.
Fix should be for 5.0 only.

How to repeat:
mysql> delimiter //
mysql> create procedure ph0 (p1 binary(2)) begin declare v1 binary(2)
default 0x41; select hex(p1),hex(v1); end//
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> call ph0(0x41)//
+---------+---------+
| hex(p1) | hex(v1) |
+---------+---------+
| 41      | 41      |
+---------+---------+
1 row in set (0.01 sec)
