Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information 
about accessing the source trees is available at
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html

I've made the changes, thanks. By the way, the patch
doesn't paste well into the bug reporting page. Might
be better to upload the patch file next time.  Thanks!
