Description:
Context: mysql 4.1.13 built from source distribution, on RedHat 7.2, i586, kernel
2.4.9-13
Using mysqldump client on the above system to connect to remote server 4.1.13 (on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 2), kernel  2.4.21-15.0.4.EL on an i686
athlon).
mysqldump shows odd connection behaviour - always reports:
  ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'hrsys.demon.co.uk' (using password:
YES)
though mysql command line client (using *same* parameters in .my.cnf) connects fine. 
Whilst diagnosing problem, tried:
  mysql --host=x.y.z -p
to cause password prompt.  mysqldump core dumps:
  Floating point exception (core dumped)

How to repeat:
Problem is repeatable on this system; cannot currently determine cause.  Core file is
available.

Hi!

Can you please try mysqldump from our binary distribution on your system and tell me if
that also dumps core or not ?

Thanks !
