Dumps are created for the tables in each specified database then for the views in each specified database. This bug occurs when any database's views depend on the mysql database's table data while being restored.
Added command line option --flush-privileges to the mysqldump utility which causes a FLUSH PRIVILIGES statement to be written to the dump after the mysql database.
init_dumping now accepts a function pointer to the table or view specific init_dumping function. This allows both tables and views to use the init_dumping function.
The problem was that the error handling was using a too-small buffer to
print the error message generated. We fix this by not using a buffer at
all, but by using fprintf() directly. There were also some problems with
the error handling in table dumping that was exposed by this fix that were
also corrected.
mysqldump did not select the correct database before trying to dump
views from it. this resulted in an empty result set, which in turn
startled mysql-dump into a core-dump. this only happened for views,
not for tables, and was only visible with multiple databases that
weren't by sheer luck in the order mysqldump required, anyway. this
fixes by selecting the correct database before dumping views; it also
catches the empty set-condition if it should occur for other reasons.

(The above problem only occurs with -T -- create a separate file for
each table / view.) This ChangeSet results in correct output of view-
information while omitting the information for the view's stand-in
table. The rationale is that with -T, the user is likely interested
in transferring part of a database, not the db in its entirety (that
would be difficult as replay order is obscure, the files being named
for the table/view they contain rather than getting a sequence number).
'show create' works even on views that are short of a base-table (this
throw a warning though, like you would expect). Unfortunately, this is
not what mysqldump uses; it creates stand-in tables and hence requests
'show fields' on the view which fails with missing base-tables. The
--force option prevents the dump from stopping at this point; furthermore
this patch dumps a comment showing create for the offending view for
better diagnostics. This solution was confirmed by submitter as solving
their/clients' problem. Problem might become non-issue once mysqldump no
longer creates stand-in tables.
