Description:
The mysql client has a 'help' command, but if you mistakenly
type an extra space at the end of the command, mysql botches
it

How to repeat:
At the mysql> prompt, type "help".  You get normal output
(a list of possible commands).

Then type "help " with a space at the end. You get:

Nothing found
Please try to run 'help contents' for a list of all accessible topics

A similar difference occurs for "help contents" with or without a space
or "help functions" with or without a space.  Without a space: normal
output.  With a space: Nothing found.

Thank you for a bug report. Verified just as described (on latest 4.1-BK and 5.0-BK).
