It's possible that this is just my install, but items would not load for me with my install of MySQL 5.1.11 beta. The issue was with the column name "range"", which seems to now be a reserved word. To solve the problem I changed the common/shareddb.cpp at line 666 to read;
#define F(x) "`" #x "`,"
This quotes the column name so that MySQL will accept the name no matter what.
Like I say, its possible that this is just my install, but I thought I would let everyone know just incase
