MySQL protocol test fail internally when testing MySQL 8

[Tildeslash]

Trying the MySQL protocol test against MySQL 8, fails internally with a runtime error: `monit-master/src/protocols/mysql.c:316:84: runtime error: left shift of 50175 by 16 places cannot be represented in type 'int'`

I’m testing Monit (downloaded from mmonit.com) on Ubuntu Focal Beta with MySQL 8 and checks are failing with:

‌

    Description: failed protocol test [MYSQL] at /run/mysqld/mysqld.sock -- Server returned error code 1251 -- Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

‌

As a work around I’m using the monit config

‌

check program mysqladmin with path "/usr/bin/mysqladmin ping"
    start program = "/bin/systemctl start mysql.service"
    stop program = "/bin/systemctl stop mysql.service"
    if status !=0 within 3 cycles then restart
