MySQL 5.0.51a and SHOW ENGINES

["Martijn Tonies" <m.tonies@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

It seems that SHOW ENGINES fails on MySQL 5.0.51a (community edition
checked).

Instead of returning the full data, the first two columns are cut off at 3
characters,
while the "comment" column is cut off at 26 characters.

Sample output:
 # | Engine| Support|          Comment
 --+-------+--------+---------------------------
  1| MyI   | YES    | Default engine as of MySQL
  2| MEM   | YES    | Hash based, stored in memo
  3| Inn   | DEF    | Supports transactions, row
 --+-------+--------+---------------------------
  4| Ber   | NO     | Supports transactions and
  5| BLA   | YES    | /dev/null storage engine (
  6| EXA   | YES    | Example storage engine
 --+-------+--------+---------------------------
  7| ARC   | YES    | Archive storage engine
  8| CSV   | NO     | CSV storage engine
  9| ndb   | NO     | Clustered, fault-tolerant,
 --+-------+--------+---------------------------
 10| FED   | YES    | Federated MySQL storage en
 11| MRG   | YES    | Collection of identical My
 12| ISA   | NO     | Obsolete storage engine

As you can see, this is wrong and my application fails properly
fetching info about the available storage engines.
