Extra characters added to large BLOB after mysqldump and mysql import in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Issue
- What is the possibility of backporting the following bug which was noted as fixed in MySQL 5.0.80: http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=41486
- mysqldump/import of big BLOB's brings new characters
- Restoring from a dump adds "\n" randomly in queries longer than 32Mb
- When importing large blobs (larger than the value of the mysql client's max_allowed_packet), extra invalid characters will be added to the data.
Environment
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 / mysql-5.0.77
