Bjoern,
	Can I just check that all the Host values in your mysql.user table are
IP addresses or localhost. I wonder if this also precludes '%'. Of
course it could raise the question of what the option actually does.

" --skip-name-resolve

Do not resolve host names when checking client connections. Use only IP
addresses. If you use this option, all Host column values in the grant
tables must be IP addresses or localhost. See Section 8.9.8, “DNS Lookup
Optimization and the Host Cache”."
