Description:
Using mysqld-nt Alpha 4.1.2 on WinXP, Dell 2.6ghz 600m ram.

Downloaded snapshot package "mysql-4.1.2-alpha-nightly-20040401-win-src.zip" and compiled it after fixing minor compile errors. Tried to used the BitKeeper source but it gets BUILD errors.

From the DOS window ran "mysqld-nt  --standalone" and received an error dialog popup message titled "Error from CreateNamedPipe" with error text saying "The filename, directory, or volume label syntax is incorrect.". Older BitKeeper 4.1.2 version was working, my last known working compiled pull was Dec 16.

Results after popup error:
040401  8:39:49  Aborting
040401  8:39:49  .\mysqld-nt.exe: Shutdown Complete

set-variable = key_buffer_size=64M
set-variable = table_cache=256
set-variable = sort_buffer_size=4M

How to repeat:
Start mysqld-nt server with enable-named-pipe option. Server runs in non-pipe mode.

Thank you for the bug report I was able to repeat with a server
4.1.2 five days older. I will investigate it with last source tree.
