Description:
when calling 'mysql --version' the 'Copyright ...' sting is shown on the same line and not
- as for all other command line tools, if present - in the next line:

c:\MySQL\mysql-pro-gpl-5.0.15-win32\bin\mysql.exe  Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.15, for Win32
(ia32)Copyright (C) 2002 MySQL AB

c:\MySQL\mysql-pro-gpl-5.0.15-win32\bin\mysqlmanager.exe Ver 0.2-alpha for Win32 on ia32
Copyright (C) 2003, 2004 MySQL AB
This software comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. This is free software,
...

How to repeat:
mysql --help | head -10
and check against
mysqlmanager --help | head -10

Suggested fix:
add missing LF to end of version string

It looks that this appears only on Windows, I could not reproduce it with current
5.0.17-bk on Linux (Suse 9.3).

sorry, it should have been 'mysql --help' in the description (as listed in 'how to
repeat). '--version' doesn't show a Copyright string.
