That's because what it's doing it running this:
select * from table select * from table;
i.e. it's seeing the first one you typed without the semicolon then
second one too.
You'll notice the prompt looks like this;
dbname => select * from table
dbname -> select * from table;
notice the -> That means there's already something in the buffer.
\r resets the buffer. Just try it with ONLY the semicolon and it'll work.
and yeah, get to work on that upgrade... :)
