When doing a select that contains escapable html strings, the text gets converted to the corresponding escaped string.
ie. mysql -H -e "select '<';"
will produce
<TABLE BORDER=1><TR><TH><</TH></TR><TR><TD><</TD></TR></TABLE>
This is not how I expect it to work, and more importantly, this behavior does not occur when connecting using a client on a different machine. So far, I've tried it with
Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.77, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.84, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.1
Ver 14.12 Distrib 5.0.45, for redhat-linux-gnu (x86_64) using readline 5.0
And it only occurs in the 5.0.77 version. Each is on a different machine.
What could be causing this?
