Description:
If, in a create table statement with like clause, view is used instated of a table then incorrect error is displayed.

How to repeat:
1. Start the MySQL client and connect to the database with valid user and password.
2. Set the delimiter to //
3. Run the following commands to create a table and a view from it.

   drop table if exists t1//
   create table t1(f1 char(100))//

   drop view if exists v1//
   create view v1 as select * from t1//

4. Now createt a new table with like clause using a view as follows:

   create table t2 like v1//

Expected Results: 
1. Appropriate error should be displayed as the LIKE clause only accepts a table.

Actual Results: 
1. Incorrect error is displayed as:
"ERROR 1033 (HY000): Incorrect information in file: '.\test\t2.frm'"

Hello!

This bug is duplicate of bug #6859 "Bogus error message on attempt to CREATE TABLE t LIKE view" which was fixed in MySQL 5.0.11. So I am marking this bug as such.
