Description of problem:
When running script via php interpreter while mysql daemon is running with
default-character-set specified, script fails with "File
'NONEXISTENT/charsets/?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2)" error message.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
php-4.0.6-12

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.specify default-character-set=latin2 in [mysqld] section of /etc/my.cnf
2.restart mysqld
3.create php script which uses mysql_* command, e.g.
#!/usr/bin/php -q
<?
  @$conn = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password");
  echo "Hello, world\n";
?>


4. run that srcipt

Actual Results:  File 'NONEXISTENT/charsets/?.conf' not found (Errcode: 2)
Character set '#9' is not a compiled character set and is not specified in the
'NONEXISTENT/charsets/Index' file
Hello, world

Expected Results:  Hello, world

Additional info:

Workaround is either not to specify default-character-set in /etc/my.cnf (it
breaks localized behaviour) or to symlink /usr/share/mysql to NONEXISTENT in
actual directory.
