Description:
With MySQL Client for 5.0.37, I no longer can use Ctrl-Right, Ctrl-Left in MySQL Client to move to next word / previous word.  This behavior appears to have been changed since 5.0.22.

I am using the binary distribution of 5.0.37 
Linux (non RPM, Intel C/C++ compiled, glibc-2.3)
  mysql-5.0.37-linux-i686-icc-glibc23.tar.gz

on Ubuntu 6.06 LTS i386,  (GNOME Terminal 2.14.2).

How to repeat:
From Ubuntu launch terminal:

$ echo $TERM
xterm

$ mysql
mysql> select blah[Ctrl-Left][Ctrl-Left][Ctrl-Left]

will display
mysql> select blahDDD

Ctrl-Left displays "D"
Ctrl-Right displays "C"
Ctrl-Up displays "A"
Ctrl-Down displays "B"
