Description:
When reconnecting to the database using '\r' or 'connect' as 
'connect <database> connect'  or  '\r <database> \r' 
it rises with lost connection to the server.

How to repeat:
1)connect test
2)connect test connect
3)connect test
4)select database();

Testing on Linux it behaves a little different:
mysql> connect test
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Connection id:    6
Current database: test

mysql> connect test connect
ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'connect' (1)
mysql> connect test
ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'connect' (1)
mysql> select database();
No connection. Trying to reconnect...
ERROR 2005 (HY000): Unknown MySQL server host 'connect' (1)
ERROR:
Can't connect to the server

This bug report doesn't make any sense. The 'mysql' command line client doesn't support a 'connect' command, and the syntax for 'connect' in mysqltest is different.

Sorry, I spoke a little hastily. There is, of course, a 'connect' command in the command-line client. But I don't see the bug here -- 'connect test connect' is telling the client to connect to a server named 'connect', and it appears to be failing as expected.
