Comment (by zzzeek):

 see now that's a patch.  I want to try seeing if i can backport that to
 0.8 also.   MySQL-python fixed the issue in this changeset:
 https://github.com/farcepest/MySQLdb1/commit/cd44524fef63bd3fcb71947392326e9742d520e8
 .   It's of course only in some of their repos and is hardly documented at
 all, but that's the code that fixes it.  I was originally going to just do
 a simple version check for 1.2.3, but as that commit says "I have no idea
 how this works" in it and has no tests whatsoever, the patch I have here
 adds the specific failure condition to test for, so if/when MySQL-python
 regresses on this we won't be affected.
