    Bug #59453: Non-ASCIIZ string kills protocol extensibility in MySQL 5.5 · d037f626
    Georgi Kodinov authored
    When the server sends the name of the plugin it's using in the handshake 
    packet it was null terminating it in it's buffer, but was sending a length of 
    the packet 1 byte short.
    Fixed to send the terminating 0 as well by increasing the length of the 
    packet to include it. 
    In this way the handshake packet becomes similar to the change user packet
    where the plugin name is null terminated.
    No test suite added as the fix can only be observed by analyzing the bytes
    sent over the wire.
