mysql (client) problem

mysql client doesn't print field contents after first '\0' character
e.g.:
mysql> select 'A\0AAAAAA' as txt;
+----------+
| txt      |
+----------+
| A        |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

but
/bin/bash would print 'A\0A' as AA

or let's check another way:
mysql> create table test (txt char(8));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> insert into test values ('AAAAAAAA'), ('A\0AAAAAA');
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 2  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> select * from test;
+----------+
| txt      |
+----------+
| AAAAAAAA |
| A        |
+----------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)
