This can't be repeated if the system database is properly installed. The only way it can happen is when using an old (pre-5.0) system database, or if the mysql.proc table has been dropped. It is however a misfeature that this happens if any of the above is the case, but it's probably not worth the effort to fix this, as the real reason for the problem is the way functions (and UDFs) are detected in the lexer. This will have to be reworked for other reasons anyway.

Feel free to close it again if you think so, but I wanted to add that I did nothing really wrong on my 5.0 installation. Simply, I have no 'mysql' database, and I run with --skip-grant-tables. Things go fine, except this mysql.proc thing. Maybe we need a change, or an option, so that mysql.proc is not required (just a suggestion) ??

Alghough this problem ultimately does occur because of a bug, it's not the primary issue, but merely a side effect that happens when running without a 'mysql' database. Running without a 'mysql' database will cause other things to fail as well and is not encouraged. So I still prefer to close this, and treat the actual bug separately. (It has to do with the way the lexer looks up UDFs, and therefore stored functions, which has other, more serious implications.)
