truncated connect string

[off mct]

It seems that the connect string is truncated when using the federated tables.

I have a table host apple:
CREATE TABLE `TableWithAVeryVeryLongTableName` (
`a` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`b` varchar(100) NOT NULL default ''
) TYPE=MyIsam;

Then I created this federated table:
CREATE TABLE `TableWithAVeryVeryLongTableName` (
`a` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`b` varchar(100) NOT NULL default ''
) ENGINE=FEDERATED
COMMENT='mysql://uname:passwd@apple/test/TableWithAVeryVeryLongTableName';

I got the error:
ERROR 1434: Can't create federated table. Foreign data src error : ': 1146 : Table 'test.TableWithAVeryVeryLongTableN' doesn't exist'

I had to create a user with a short username and password to make it work so that my new DDL is:
CREATE TABLE `TableWithAVeryVeryLongTableName` (
`a` varchar(100) NOT NULL default '',
`b` varchar(100) NOT NULL default ''
) ENGINE=FEDERATED
COMMENT='mysql://u:p@apple/test/TableWithAVeryVeryLongTableName';

It worked but is there another way to it besides my workaround?
