Description Andreas Girgensohn 2010-05-05 23:40:39 UTC
Description of problem:

When a client without a reverse DNS entry is connected to the MySQL server, mytop displays an error message and doesn't show the client address.

How reproducible:

Actual results:

The following message shows up in the middle of the output:
Use of uninitialized value $host in substitution (s///) at /usr/bin/mytop line 958.

The IP address of the client is replaced by an empty string.
