Subject:Tables names change to lowercase after changing table definition

Description: Ever since version 3.23.30 or so the table names suddenly change to lowercase when I alter the definition of an existing table. In my 'my.ini' I have put the following line: set-variable = lower_case_table_names=0 The variable value is picked up by mysql as SHOW VARIABLES shows it correctly. In older versions this problem does not exist.

How-To-Repeat: Create a table which a mixed case name. Then change the table definition, for example: ALTER TABLE jCaseId CHANGE id id2 BIGINT NOT NULL; No the table name 'jCaseId' has changed to 'jcaseid'.

Fix: Stop mysql, rename the .frm file back to the correct name. Start mysql
