So far I've only tested this with the command-line client program mysql. If the RM code referring to this table must be changed (and I suspect it will) it might be preferable to rename the table.

The results of the describe <tablename> command are not always the same between 4.1 and 5.5, even if show create table <tablename> has identical output for both.  In particular, the describe outputs differ for columns created NOT NULL.  Probably RM never uses the describe command, or if it does, does not look specifically for NOT NULL columns, but we should confirm.  There are a couple other small differences in describe output between old and new MySQL versions which are even less likely to be significant (in values displayed under headings "Key" and "Default").
