Description:
If I say "alter table ... add partition ...", crash.

How to repeat:
mysql> create table t2 (s1 int) partition by list (s1) (partition x1 values in (1),partition x2 values in (2));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> alter table t2 add partition (partition x3 values in (4));
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Already fixed in new patch with proper implementation of
partition management

A single or double ADD PARTITION works in
bk-internal.mysql.com:/home/bk/mysql-5.1-wl2604-new
        ChangeSet@1.1982, 2005-12-21
but:
CREATE TABLE t1 ( f1 INTEGER, f2 char(20))
PARTITION    BY HASH(f1) (PARTITION part1, PARTITION part3);
ALTER TABLE t1 ADD PARTITION (PARTITION part0);
ALTER TABLE t1 ADD PARTITION (PARTITION part2);
ALTER TABLE t1 ADD PARTITION (PARTITION part4);

SELECT * FROM t1; 
mysqltest: At line 7: query 'SELECT * FROM t1' failed: 1037: Out of memory; restart server and try again (needed 64 bytes
