Description:
A simple query such as the following causes the mysqld to crash. If I make the table a bit smaller (delete some 500 rows) then the problem goes away.

     SELECT * FROM tcisli245090 a0  WHERE (a0.t_slcp >= ?) 

The backtrace is as follows:

How to repeat:
Use the attached program and table dump. If the problem reproduces then the program runs silently and the mysqld crashes.

Thank you for a problem report. I was not able to repeat the behaviour you described using your data on 5.0.15-BK (ChangeSet@1.2022, 2005-10-20 11:12:34+05:00, bar@mysql.com) built from sources:

The following SELECT:

mysql> SELECT * FROM tcisli245090 a0  WHERE (a0.t_slcp >= 90);

...

17107 rows in set (17,74 sec)

just worked for me. And here is the plan:

mysql> explain SELECT * FROM tcisli245090 a0  WHERE (a0.t_slcp >= 90);
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+-
-----+-------------+
| id | select_type | table | type  | possible_keys | key     | key_len | ref  |
rows | Extra       |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+-
-----+-------------+
|  1 | SIMPLE      | a0    | range | PRIMARY       | PRIMARY | 4       | NULL |
8564 | Using where |
+----+-------------+-------+-------+---------------+---------+---------+------+-
-----+-------------+
1 row in set (0,10 sec)

mysql> exit
Bye

So, what value was used instead of ? when you get that crash? Can you add something that will help me to repeat it?
[21 Oct 2005 14:41] Berto van de Kraats
I've noticed the same. When the query is run from mysql, then there is no problem. But, if the attached program is used, then I get a crash (note that the program uses the "client cursor" functionality).

Thank you for the bug report and test case.

Similarly to Bug#14143, this bug report is not easily repeatable:

Fixed in 5.0 tree, currently tagged 5.0.16
[3 Nov 2005 14:00] Konstantin Osipov
Note for documentation: the bug was in memory corruption caused by any cursor query that returns a result set bigger than max_heap_table_size.
