I didn't have any luck reproducing this --- the problem probably only occurs if you manage to hit control-C during a very narrow window. It doesn't seem important enough to justify carrying our own patch, but I've filed the problem upstream at http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=55932
Upstream is wondering whether the mysql server you were connecting to is also current-version.
The server is an older version: 4.1.25-pro-gpl-log. I've also posted this on the upstream issue.
