Description:
Doing
mysql_real_query(mysql, "create database test10\000\001", 24);
(24 is the length including the two last non-printable characters);
the MySQL server does not complain, executes successfully the query (creates the database test10) and writes to the binlog:
create database test10^@^A;

Same issue with mysql_prepare().

How to repeat:
see description; or take a look at the binlog produced by tests/client_test.c.

Suggested fix:
The parser apparently stops parsing at \000, as it is satisfied with what it has parsed at that point. The MySQL server should check that nothing remains. Pushing a fix as discussed with CTO.
