mytop crashes on 'SHOW SLAVE STATUS' query

[Steffen Zieger]

Running mytop on a Percona MySQL 5.6 setup with replication, it crashes immediately with the following error:

"Can't use string ("1") as a HASH ref while "strict refs" in use at /usr/bin/mytop line 1076."

Line 1076 checks, if a Master_Host is set after executing "SHOW SLAVE STATUS".
Running "SHOW SLAVE STATUS" as the same user used for mytop, it's working without any problems. "Master_Host" is set to the address of the master host.

Upstream version 1.9.1 (from http://www.mysqlfanboy.com/mytop-3/) is working as expected and shows replication information.

Additional information:
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
mytop: 1.9.1-1

Expected:
- A working mytop

What's happening:
- mytop crashes with an error

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Confirming that this issue fixed in 1.9.1-2, but right now LTS version of Ubuntu (14.04 LTS) still has mytop_1.9.1-1 by default.

Deb file of mytop_1.9.1-1 can be downloaded from 14.10 or 15.01 version (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/vivid/+package/mytop) and simply installed via "dpkg -i" =)

Back to life on LTS version! =)
