Description:
desc tablename;

hangs for a while and then prints blanks.  However, desc tablename\G; works as it should.

How to repeat:
1. run mysql to get to a mysql prompt
2. desc sometablename;

Thank you for the bug report. This happens on my side, however I asked
yesterday for a my co-woeker and he wasn't able to see nothing abnormal.
I verified from a KDE shell on Suse Linux 10.

DESC is just like any other SQL command, it's very strange if that should be failing. Will add test cases to mysql-test-run to make sure it works as expected.
