Description:
when you:
1) start mysqld with argument --old-passwords
2) there is a user, say xxx, in db whose password is generate by the new algorithm introduced in 4.1
3) login through Administrator using xxx and its password.

Login seems to be O.K., however when you try to do something such as monitor server/connection/user/log..., Administrator crashes. 

How to repeat:
1) Install mysql 4.1.1a and Administrator 1.01a
2) Set password for some user, say root. The password should look like "*006f97b114f597fdf08833b90ea7163eadc6fef351b4".
3) Restart with mysqld with argument --old-passwords
4) Login as root through Administrator

Suggested fix:
mysql command line program does not have such problem.
Follow the step 1,2,3 in "How to repeat" and at step 4, login through mysql commandline program, everything's O.K.
Administrator should have same function.

hi, sorry I made a mistake. In the bug report I mentioned that 
my server version I uaw 4.1.1a, in fact, however, it's 4.1.0a. 
4.1.0a did have the connection problem that I reported. I tried 
4.1.1a today and seems that the problem fixed in 4.1.1a.

thanks.
