Hi!

kulakov> Hello. kulakov> I sent you an e-mail describing a bug and then I got a response saying
that kulakov> my e-mail did not kulakov> follow the format expected by your spam/off-topic filter. I resend you
the kulakov> e-mail now including the sequence of steps to repeat the bug.

kulakov> How-To-Repeat: kulakov> 1) Run mysqld-opt.exe for Windows with the kulakov> parameter --default-character-set=cp1251 and any other parameters you
need:

kulakov> mysqld-opt.exe --default-character-set=cp1251

kulakov> 2) In any way you prefer, perform the query:

kulakov> Select upper('-Lабвгдеёжзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюя')-A

kulakov> That'a all you need to get the incorrect result:

kulakov> -LАБВГДЕёЖЗиЙКЛМНОпРСТУФХцЧшщъыьэюя-A

kulakov> (In fact, the result may differ from this but it will be incorrect
anyway)

kulakov> Explanation of the reason of the bug:

<cut>

Thanks for the good explanation and for the suggestions. We will fix this in next MySQL release!

kulakov> You may offer a more effective code but this one works fine anyway. We

Yes!

kulakov> Also, your winmysqladmin.exe demonstrates strange behaviour. kulakov> How-To-Repeat: kulakov> 1) Run winmysqladmin.exe on Windows 9x. Provided it started the mysqld kulakov> server successfully, it should get minimized to the system tray kulakov> 2) Click its icon there, choose "Win 9x", then choose "Shutdown the
Server". kulakov> It shutdowns the server and then its icon disappears from the system
tray. kulakov> At the same time, the task list (activated by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del)
shows kulakov> Winmysqladmin is still running. This way, one may get several
Winmysqladmin kulakov> tasks running hidden. It's impossible to open its window after that and
its kulakov> task has to be forced to terminate.

Miguel, can you please look at fixing this bug.
