Description:
In mysql, the \p prompt string indicates the current
TCP/IP port number, Unix socket filename, or Windows
named pipe name. However, MySQL now supports
shared-memory connections on Windows, and these
are not reflected in the value of \p -- it should print
the shared-memory name. Instead, it prints the TCP/IP
port number.

How to repeat:
Start the server with --enable-shared-memory to make
sure that it supports shared-memory connections.

Start mysql with --protocol=memory to make sure that
it makes a shared-memory connection (verify with STATUS).

Then change the prompt with: prompt \p

The prompt will display the TCP/IP port number, not
the shared-memory name.

Thank you for the bug report.
