Bug#41190: shared memory connections do not work in Vista, if server started from cmdline
Backport to MySQL 5.0/1 fix by Vladislav Vaintroub: In Vista and later and also in when using terminal services, when server is started from command line, client cannot connect to it via shared memory protocol. This is a regression introduced when Bug#24731 was fixed. The reason is that client is trying to attach to shared memory using global kernel object namespace (all kernel objects are prefixed with Global\). However, server started from the command line in Vista and later will create shared memory and events using current session namespace. Thus, client is unable to find the server and connection fails. The fix for the client is to first try to find server using "local" names (omitting Global\ prefix) and only if server is not found, trying global namespace.
