Description:
SHOW TABLE STATUS sometimes does not show a result if a table with non-ASCII name is used. This has to do with automatic lower case conversion of table names.

How to repeat:
1) Create a table "OOO", any structure should do it.
2) Issue a SHOW TABLE STATUS FROM test LIKE 'OOO';
3) It will return a line for the new table, but with 'ooo' as table name.
4) Do the same but name the table 'ÖÖÖ'.
5) A result is only returned if you specify 'ööö' in the SHOW TABLE STATUS command.

Suggested fix:
1) Find a consence on the automatic case conversion issue for case-insensitive file systems.
2) Apply this consence consistently to all commands.

Thank you for a problem report. Please, send the results of:

SHOW VARIABLES LIKE 'char%';

from the same environment.

Hi Gluh,
Just some minor remarks:

- What are the effects of the bug? Consider putting this in the cset comment.
- Please use uppercase for reserved SQL words in your test case.
- my_wildcmp is a macro (an unconditional one at that). Why don't you just call the function pointer files_charset_info->coll->wildcmp?

Anyways, I check my mark as the bug is fixed.

      Reverted the fix for bug #25830 because of omissions and non-complete test
      case.
