I am using 5.0.21 for windows xp. I just updated Windows security and rebooted windows. Due to this unrelated activity, I think drop database start to work fine now.

mysql> drop database a;
ERROR 1008 (HY000): Can't drop database 'a'; database doesn't exist
mysql> create database a;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec)

mysql>
mysql> drop database a;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.14 sec)
