Thanks for the report.

I'm having some trouble reproducing it, though, and my web searches don't
seem to explain the issue too well either. Could you please check

- Which version of mysql are you using, 4.1 or 5.0? 
- Do you have a CNAME or something for your web server, so that the real 
  hostname is not in the URL? 
- Which browser are you using, and does the bug occur with others as well?
- Is this specific to libapache2-mod-fastcgi, or does it occur with eg.
  mod_perl2 too?

I haven't been able to test with libapache2-mod-fastcgi yet, as there's
no amd64 package available and my testing platform is 64-bit. Guess I'll
have to set up a new i386 Xen installation for that.

Cheers,
