Description:
If mysqladmin is running with option -E result table looks damaged:

+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----...

+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----...

Looks like programmer presumed a constant length of 2 chars for all commands.

How to repeat:
mysqladmin -i10 -c2  -r  -E extended-status
