Description:
This is the NetWare version of Bug #10840.

In client/mysql.cc, the input handling for NetWare only calls fgets() once, and doesn't correctly handle an input line that is longer than sizeof(linebuffer).

This can be fixed similarly to how it was fixed for the _cgets() usage on Windows.

How to repeat:
Run mysql client, enter command longer than 255 characters.

This mysql client bug also occurs in the Windows version of 5.0.7 and 5.0.10 (did not test 5.0.9).

the netware console isn't great...  the above was a command like this

select length('<301 chars here>');

I tried > 800 chars it also worked.
