BUG: --disable-pager doesn"t work

This is true for both 4.0 and 4.1

mysql --help now says:

--no-pager Disable pager and print to stdout. See interactive help
(\h) also. WARNING: option deprecated; use
--disable-pager instead.

However, either --disable-pager or --skip-pager result in an error
as soon as you issue a query:

mysql> show tables;
sh: 0: command not found

The reason appears to be that the pager has been set to "0":

mysql> \s
--------------
mysql Ver 12.14 Distrib 4.0.5-beta, for apple-darwin5.5 (powerpc)

Connection id: 119
Current database:
Current user: paul@localhost
SSL: Not in use
Current pager: 0
Using outfile: ''
Server version: 4.0.5-beta-log
Protocol version: 10
Connection: Localhost via UNIX socket
Client characterset: latin1
Server characterset: latin1
UNIX socket: /usr/local/mysql/mysql.sock
Uptime: 3 days 19 hours 43 min 27 sec


Normally with no pager, "Current pager" has a value of ''.

How-to-repeat:

Invoke mysql with either --disable-pager or --skip-pager.
Then issue a query.


Note that similar language is displayed in the help for --no-tee:

--no-tee Disable outfile. See interactive help (\h) also. WARNING:
option deprecated; use --disable-tee instead

Perhaps it has a problem as well.
