Description:
In my.cnf i have string about default charset:
default-character-set=utf8

How to repeat:
then i start mysqlbinlog:
==============
dbs9:/monamour/chroot # mysqlbinlog
mysqlbinlog: unknown variable 'default-character-set=utf8'
==============

Suggested fix:
I don't know is it a bug or not but seems it is.

Please, inform us about the version of MySQL you use and platform you run it on.

The full content of your my.cnf file will be useful too.

mysql:
==========
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 51603386 to server version: 4.1.11-standard
==========

my.cnf for mysqlbinlog (server my.cnf is in another dir):
==========
[client]                                                                                                                            
port            = 3306                                                                                                              
socket          = /monamour/chroot/monamour/mysql/mysql.sock                                                                        
#default-character-set = utf8

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing
bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel
that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments
to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
