Description:
if you give the desc <table name> command from mysql client, there is no response for quite some time after which the mysql-server cannot be used anymore (i get an error 2003, cant connect to MySQL server on local host)

this problem did not exist in 4.1 release

How to repeat:
start the mySQL server on local host

connect once using MySQL client, give any database name and then give the desc <table> command.
