BUG: /p prompt specifier crashes mysql on Windows

On UNIX, using \p in a prompt specifier includes the current
port number or socket name in the prompt.

On WIndows, using \p for a TCP connection includes the current
port number. I thought perhaps it would include the
named pipe name for a named pipe connection, but instead,
mysql crashes.

How-to-repeat:

This works:

mysql -h localhost --prompt="\p> "

This crashes:

mysql -h . --prompt="\p> "


I was using 4.0.2, but I just tried with 4.0.4 and the same thing
happens: Boom!
