10892	msql query fails when running set names utf8	digininja		"There is code on line 367 of wordpress/wp-includes/wp-db.php which does a db query of SET NAMES 'utf8'. The code in query can't handle this correctly as it expects it to return a number of rows which it doesn't so the line 

while ($i < @mysql_num_fields($this->result)) {

in the query function fails.

The easy fix for this is to add

} elseif ( preg_match(""/^\\s*(set) /i"",$query) ) {
  return 0;

as part of the if statement around line 700.
