Description:
Delimiter coomand does not work in the same way in 4.1 and 5.0, mysql and mysqltest.
For example, this works fine in 4.1 and in mysqltest (as of 5.0): 
mysql> delimiter :;
mysql> show tables:
+----------------+
| Tables_in_test |
+----------------+
| V_T1           |
| t2             |
+----------------+
2 rows in set (0.01 sec)

But doesn't work with mysql command line client of 5.0, where delimiter :; sets delimiter
to ":;", not to ":".

This discrepancy should be removed, and preferrably, the old behaviour should be restored.

How to repeat:
See description.
