Thank you for your bug report. This issue has already been fixed in the latest released version of that product, which you can download at http://www.mysql.com/downloads/
Description: Statement `show variables' returns blobs, that are not shown. How to repeat: show variables Suggested fix: Have to show variables return blobs? Why not long text? Generaly, if BLOB matches some regexp, e.g. /^[[:printable:]]{0,255}$/, it should be shown (or unprintable characters could be substitued with frames or another exotic character). A very good previewer such as lister (http://www.ghisler.com/lister/) should be used or selecting default previewer. Instaed of or in addition to saving BLOB, openning in an application dialog should be used (same as in web brouser save file/open in application).
