Hi

I once mailed a bug report regarding an backwards incompatibility of mysqldump
to the mailing list but got no responses. I hope you can fix this for the
release version.

The following quote is from a bug report against the mysql-server package 
which I maintain for the Debian distro. The used one of the latest 3.23.x
versions.

This bug is reproduceable by me. I used:

ch@xeniac:~$ mysqldump --host=myhost.mydomain.de --no-data dbname tablename

bye,
