Description:
If you add an negative value to a which is defined as int, the next 
auto_increment value is always max. int

How to repeat:
mysql> create table a (a int not null auto_increment primary key);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into a values(NULL);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into a values(-1);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.31 sec)

mysql> select last_insert_id();
+------------------+
| last_insert_id() |
+------------------+
|                1 |
+------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into a values(NULL);
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select * from a;
+------------+
| a          |
+------------+
|         -1 |
|          1 |
| 2147483647 |
+------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
