error in: Show variables

Hello,
the SQL statement "Show variables like 'ft_min_word_len'";
used to return a string up to version 4.012 which we convert to a Decimal.

But in 4.1 it returns a Decimal and naturally causes a problem in our program.

Is this intentinally planned (a Decimal) for the future or a mistake in
programming ?

Thanking you for your answer.
With kind regards
Gerd Unruh
