I should've taken a look at the bug database. Sorry for the noise.
Try the patch I posted there and please report whether
it solves the
problem or not (I don't have a MySQL 4.1 test box set up at the moment).
The patch doesn't apply cleanly (as you yourself noted on the comment
#6), but I've patched maintenance/tables.sql (because I suspect I'll
redo the installation quite a few times more), then I've modified the
table by hand and it works fine. Thanks!
Ah, but MySQL AB is based in Sweden. ;)
Oh, how did I forget that? :)
The issue of character set configuration in MySQL is a
long, sad story
and unfortunately the transition to the more or less sensible support in
the new 4.1 & 5.0 is going to be ugly as you have seen already.
No problem. I'm glad to help in the testing. I'm installing MediaWiki
for my own, personal use, so it's easy to just backup everything and
try the cutting edge, even if it really cuts sometimes :)
