I concur with that. I don't have a WindowsXP machine to try stuff on,
only Linux.

I'm running the following on linux:
MySQL 4.0.8-gamma (custom compile)
PHP 4.3.0
Apache 2.0.43
PMA 2.4.0-dev

And it all works quite fine.

This should only be the matter of adding 'MYSQL_CLIENT_SSL' to the
client flags in the mysql_connect call. It might be worth adding a
configuration option for 'MYSQL_CLIENT_COMPRESS' or
'MYSQL_CLIENT_IGNORE_SPACE' as well.

If they do edit existing privilege configurations on such a
configuration with users_details.php3, what will happen? Is there data
loss here?

Could you post a link to that stuff about the user, and also any
pointers to what has changed?

What about that permissions in my question above?

I haven't had any trouble with 4.0.8 on linux, and the changelog between
4.0.8 and 4.0.9 is very small.
