Description:
diffrent results for USER(), CURRENT_USER and SESSION_USER() in 4.0.15 and 4.1.1

In 4.0.15 CURRENT_USER returns wrong host, in 4.1.1 all functions return an empty string.

How to repeat:
For 4.1.1:

SELECT VERSION()
        "4.1.1-alpha-embedded-debug"
SELECT CURRENT_USER()
       ""
SELECT SESSION_USER()
       ""
SELECT USER()
       ""

For 4.0.0:
SELECT VERSION()
        "4.0.15-embedded-debug"
SELECT CURRENT_USER()
      "georg@¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥"
SELECT SESSION_USER()
      "georg@localhost"
SELECT USER()
      "georg@localhost"
