Description:
After creating a table with > 100 columns, adding an additional index crashed the Cluster Storage Node. Each repeated attempt crashes the other storage node.
This behaviour has been seen on;
IBM X345 (i386) SLES9.1 MySQL Max 4.1.9 & 4.1.14
IBM P710 (Power PC) SLES9.1 MySQL Max 4.1.11
IBM P630 (Power PC) SLES9.1 MySQL Max 4.1.14
Storage node trace.log etc available.
config.ini (from X345 server) is
[NDBD DEFAULT]
NoOfReplicas=2
[MYSQLD DEFAULT]
[NDB_MGMD DEFAULT]

Other servers use separate mgm server. P630 is a 2x8 node cluster.
How to repeat:
Create a large table;
create table test(

primary key (ai),
unique key tx1 (c002, c003, c004, c005));
Then add an index;
create index tx2
on test (
c010,
c011,
c012,
c013);
At this point one of the storage nodes will crash. Re-start the storage node, drop the table, re-create it and then create the index, this time the other storage node will fail.
Occasionally both storage nodes will fail, but I cannot reliably re-produce this.
Suggested fix:
There is a work around. If the index is created as part of the initial table creation, there does not appear to be a problem. Not so handy with 500k rows already in the table, if there is a work around for a populated table I'd be most grateful.
