ENUMs weren't allowed to have character 0xff, a perfectly good character in some locales. This was circumvented by mapping 0xff in ENUMs to ',', thereby prevent actual commas from being used. Now if 0xff makes an appearance, we find a character not used in the enum and use that as a separator. If no such character exists, we throw an error. Any solution would have broken some sort of existing behaviour. This solution should serve both fractions (those with 0xff and those with ',' in their enums), but WILL REQUIRE A DUMP/RESTORE CYCLE FROM THOSE WITH 0xff IN THEIR ENUMS. :-/ That is, mysqldump with their current server, and restore when upgrading to one with this patch.
