I'll incorporate this into response, since it's a good troubleshooting
tip and I'm thinking this error will be encountered a lot (or at least
more than once) as people transition from MySQL to MariaDB.

My current plan is to create a troubleshooting article for the
Knowledgebase and then link to it in a reply to the original comment on
the mysql client page.

Thanks!
