Description:
InnoDB crashes when a table uses column names like DB_ROW_ID:

mysql> create table t1 (DB_ROW_ID int) engine = innodb;
ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away

The server dies with:

InnoDB: Assertion failure in thread 1568611248 in file dict0dict.c line 1376
InnoDB: Failing assertion: col2 == NULL

The problem is that InnoDB uses some DB_* column names internally for the system columns in tables, and apparently fails to guard properly against the user using them. It should either refuse such tables or allow the user to re-use the names, but not crash.

How to repeat:
See above.

Suggested fix:
See above.
