Description:
On a small table, PROCEDURE ANALYZE returns the wrong M and D value, and it doesn't honor the max_elements setting. Confirmed in 5.0.51a FreeBSD and 5.0.67 Linux.  In the sample code below, Windows 5.0.21 returns FLOAT(1,1), whereas in in FreeBSD/Linux, FLOAT(2,1) is returned.  It should return FLOAT(5,2).

How to repeat:
create table t (price TEXT);
insert into t values ('999.99');
insert into t values ('0.10');
# RETURNS FLOAT(2,1)
select price from t procedure analyse(0,0);
# RETURNS ENUM
select price from t procedure analyse(1,8192);

Suggested fix:
It should return the correct M and D values for the FLOAT, and it should not return ENUM with more than max_elements.
