Non-ASCII tablename not converted to lowercase in FK references

Hi!

First, sorry if I post in the wrong forum category, I'm new here.

I noticed this problem :

alter table table1 add constraint FKB48269E285EFD5D4 foreign key (f_id) references BAR (id);

If the name BAR contains non-ascii uppercase characters, then the command fails with errno 150.

Example :

create table one (mid bigint not null, primary key (mid));
create table twoš (id bigint not null auto_increment, stevilka varchar(255), primary key (id));

alter table one add index FKB48269E285EFD5D4 (mid),
add constraint FKB48269E285EFD5D4 foreign key (mid) references twoŠ (id);

This fails, while "... references TWoš (id);" would work.

So it converts ASCII chars to lowercase correctly, while non-ascii chars are not converted.

Note that in other commands both ascii and non-ascii are correctly converterd like :
- create table xŠy ... creates table with name "xšy" (all 3 lower case)
- alter table abcŠ ... alters the table "abcš" with no error

I observed this problem with :
- 4.1.21-community-nt
- 5.0.27 (community, win32)

5.1.12-beta win32 does NOT have this problem any more.

My settings (install procedure):
- install MySQL-5.1/mysql-essential-5.1.12-beta-win32.msi
- Typical install
- detailed configuration
- developer machine
- transactional Database Only (e.g. InnoDB is default)
- DSS/OLAP
- Enable TCP/IP ; Enable Strict Mode
- Best support for Multilingualism


As the problem is fioxed in the latest beta, I wonder if it is worth submitting a bug ? So that 5.0.x is fixed in the nex release/patch ?

NOTE: Try the examples with an Unicode aware UI, otherwise it might choke on the non-ascii chars. I used MySQL Query Browser 5.0 on Windows XP.

Regards,
David

PS: How do other DBs behave in this regard ?
