I am running FreeBSD 7. running MySQL 5.1.36 from ports.

I am trying to check some data in the MySQL binary log files, and I get the following error:

# mysqlbinlog mysql-bin.000021
mysqlbinlog: unknown option '--ssl'

In addition, I can't even view the help for this command:

# mysqlbinlog --help
mysqlbinlog: unknown option '--ssl'

Why does mysqlbinlog not know about the option ssl?

This server was compiled with SSL, and ssl is activated in the my.cnf configuration file. We use SSL for remote connections, but I am running this command on the local host.
