Description:
fill_help_tables.sql contain only the following 

-- fill_help_tables.sql - this file is a placeholder to satisfy build dependencies -
-- it will be replaced with the appropriate content by the Boostrap script that
-- creates the official source distribution.

look like the bootstrap script where looking elsewhere ;-)

How to repeat:
download "mysql-5.0.16.tar.gz"

This has not been fixed in 5.0.17 or 5.0.18.  Is there a way to download just this file without installing the bitkeeper client?  I have the 5.0.7-beta version of this file--how inaccurate would that version be?

Short hint on how to create the help tables using these files:

- download the appropriate help table file for your version
- decompress it using "gunzip fill_help_tables.sql-5.0.gz"
- pipe it into the mysql client: "mysql -u root -p <password> mysql < fill_help_tables.sql-5.0"

Joerg, the Bootstrap script was now fixed - can you please double check this during the next 5.0 Bootstrap run and close this bug, once you verified that it works now? Thanks!

Fix by Kent is effective, source package now contains a "real" 
fill_help_tables.sql: 358,978 byte.

Will take effect for 5.0.17a and 5.0.19;
bug is still present in 5.0.18.

This also applies to the .zip file of the Windows installation. Has it been fixed there, too (see bug report http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=16117)?
