  Bug#19564:  mysql displays NULL instead of space
  
  Correct a bug (that I introduced, after using Oracle's database software for 
  too many years) where the length of the database-sent data is incorrectly 
  used to infer NULLness.

  mysql-test/t/mysql.test
    1.10 06/05/09 22:22:42 cmiller@zippy.(none) +8 -0
    Add test and version marker

  mysql-test/r/mysql.result
    1.9 06/05/09 22:22:42 cmiller@zippy.(none) +10 -2
    Add result and version marker, and correct previous result.

  client/mysql.cc
    1.204 06/05/09 22:22:42 cmiller@zippy.(none) +1 -1
    No longer use the length of the data to infer whether it is NULL or not.

# This is a BitKeeper patch.  What follows are the unified diffs for the
# set of deltas contained in the patch.  The rest of the patch, the part
# that BitKeeper cares about, is below these diffs.
