Description:
Why can't I set the wait_timeout global variable to 0.

How to repeat:
Changed my.ini to include under [mysqld]

wait_timeout=0

Restarted MySQL service.

show global variables shows wait_timeout = 1.

Please help.

Please do not submit the same bug more than once. An existing bug report already describes this very problem. Even if you feel that your issue is somewhat different, the resolution is likely
to be the same. Because of this, we hope you add your comments to the original bug instead.

Thank you for your interest in MySQL.
