Description:
SHOW PROFILE hangs if executed before enabling the
@@profiling session variable.  For example, it hangs
if it is the first statement executed.

How to repeat:
% mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 12
Server version: 5.0.37-debug-log Source distribution

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> SHOW PROFILE;

At this point, the statement hangs, and has to be killed

Query aborted by Ctrl+C
Aborted

The hang also occurs if you execute "SET @@profiling = 0"
prior to "SHOW PROFILE".

% mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 17
Server version: 5.0.37-debug-log Source distribution

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> SET @@profiling = 0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SHOW PROFILE;
Query aborted by Ctrl+C
Aborted

The hang does NOT occur if @@profiling has been enabled
prior to "SET PROFILE", even if the variable is disabled when
"SET PROFILE" is executed.

% mysql
Welcome to the MySQL monitor.  Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 19
Server version: 5.0.37-debug-log Source distribution

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> SET @@profiling = 1;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SET @@profiling = 0;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SHOW PROFILE;
+----------------+------------+
| Status         | Duration   |
+----------------+------------+
| Opening tables | 0.00004400 | 
+----------------+------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

So perhaps it is some kind of variable initialization problem.

Hrm.  One must send the fields or send an error.

  Unify profiling SHOW code and INFORMATION_SCHEMA code for
  profiling.  Also,
  
  Bug#26938: profiling client hang if used before enabled
  
  In the SHOW command, not sending header data because we had no 
  rows to send was a protocol violation.  Porting the SHOW PROFILE
  command to use the Information Schema table avoids that problem.
