Description:
Having 5.0.51 built with defaults on SUSE several annoying errors apper. First, it's impossible to use DELETE key when editing the command: pressing the key just outputs "~". Second, it's impossible to write in Russian in console: letters just don't appear at all. The quick solution is to rebuild MySQL with --without-libedit (thanx to Konstantin Osipov). 

How to repeat:
build mysql with default settings (just ./configure)
do all the install prosedures
open mysql console
then try to press "delete" key, or type in russian characher set (I used ru_RU.UTF-8).

It doesn't seem to depend on OS or architecture, but I reproduced it on openSUSE 10.2 64bit.
The issue is clearly caused by the bundled libedit and is not present when using readline which comes with the system.

Thank you for the report.

Sign '~' verified on Linux as described. Russian intput I get corrupted on Mac OSX, but in different way.

Fixed in recent versions of 5.1.
