Description:
The Administrator client will not connect to a local server. It displays a dialog with the message "Connection Error - Could not connect to MySQL instance at localhost. Error: Unknown system variable 'sql_mode' (code 1193)" . The server version is 4.0.24-standard. The system variable 'sql_mode' does exist for this server, and has a value of 0.

How to repeat:
Install MySQL Administrator on Mac OS X and log-in to a local server.

I get the same error when trying to connect to a remote server. I also get this error when using the MySQL Query Browser 1.1.0-alpha.
