Bug #21428 "skipped 9 bytes from file: socket (3)" on "mysqladmin shutdown"

Description:
When doing a "mysqladmin shutdown" on a server >=5.0.22 
the server shuts down fine but the client reports

 $ mysqladmin shutdown
 skipped 9 bytes from file: socket (3)

This is independant of the client binary version so its
not a client but a server problem.

(I'm using debug builds, haven't tested whether this 
 happens with non-debug binaries, too)

How to repeat:
Shut down a >=5.0.22 server with 

  mysqladmin shutdown

Could be expected that the client discards some bytes before sending the command to the server.

Non-debug 5.0.25-BK does not demonstrate this behaviour:

openxs@suse:~/dbs/5.0> bin/mysqladmin -uroot shutdown
STOPPING server from pid file /home/openxs/dbs/5.0/var/suse.pid

5.1.12-beta-debug does not demonstrate this behaviour also.

I was not able to repeat the behaviour described with 5.0.25-debug as well:

What am I doing wrong?

No feedback was provided for this bug for over a month, so it is
being suspended automatically. If you are able to provide the
information that was originally requested, please do so and change
the status of the bug back to "Open".

You need to build with -DEXTRA_DEBUG to see it.
It's caused by double send_eof(thd); in 
dispatch_command(), case COM_SHUTDOWN. The second eof packet is those "9 bytes" that are ignored.

A patch for this bug has been committed. After review, it may
be pushed to the relevant source trees for release in the next
version. You can access the patch from:

ChangeSet@1.2380, 2006-11-30 03:40:42+02:00, monty@mysql.com +63 -0
  Fixed compiler warnings (Mostly VC++):
  - Removed not used variables
  - Changed some ulong parameters/variables to ulonglong (possible serious bug)
  - Added casts to get rid of safe assignment from longlong to long (and similar)
  - Added casts to function parameters
  - Fixed signed/unsigned compares
  - Added some constructores to structures
  - Removed some not portable constructs
  
  Better fix for bug Bug #21428 "skipped 9 bytes from file: socket (3)" on "mysqladmin shutdown"
  (Added new parameter to net_clear() to define when we want the communication buffer to be emptied)

Fix will be in 5.1.14

This will not be fixed in 5.0, as it only affects DBUG builds (and are thus not critical)

Noted in 5.1.14 changelog.

For debug builds, mysqladmin shutdown displayed an extraneous "skipped
9 bytes from file: socket (3)" message.
