Grant "optimize" difference in 4.0.14 and 4.0.16 ?

[Andreas Falck]

Hi,

I ran the code below on two different versions, 4.0.14 and 4.0.16
respectively, both running RH 7.3 on intel.

In version mysql server version 4.0.14 the SELECT privelege suffices
for "optimize table", but (seemingly) the server version 4.0.16
requires INSERT as well.

Is the INSERT privelege necessary for performing optimize in mysql
server version >= 4.0.16 ? I haven't found anything on this in the
changelogs, but I guess I might have missed something.
