Topic: mysql-server 5.5.12 and 5.5.13 not compatible with mysql 4.0.x clients

Greetings,

It has come to my attention that mysql-server-5.5.12 and mysql-server-5.5.13 are not compatible with MySQL 4.0 clients. When attempting to connect, with and without a password, the client always responds with:

ERROR 1043: Bad handshake

MySQL Bug:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=61222

The client cannot be upgraded, it is part of a complex system that is not easily updated.

We found that mysql-server-5.5.11 still works perfectly, though. So lately the fix has just been to downgrade to 5.5.11. Unfortunately, it seems to have been removed from the repository. Is there anyway I could get access to the old 5.5.11 rpm's for mysql, mysql-server, and mysql-libs for both i386 and x86_64?
