It might relate to bug#19022.

How to repeat:
mysql-test-run  rpl_trigger
[21 Jun 2006 9:22] Andrei Elkin
should relate to bug#19022: Memory bug when switching db during
trigger execution. 

My conclusion is based on observation of #20579 fails on 

             by 0x617C73: mysql_insert(THD*, st_table_list*, List<Item>&,
List<List<Item> >&, List<Item>&, List<Item>&, enum_duplicates, bool)
(sql_insert.cc:570)

which is the following, not the preceeding!, to #19022's failing line:

             by 0x5F859F: mysql_insert(THD*, st_table_list*, List<Item>&,
List<List<Item> >&, List<Item>&, List<Item>&, enum_duplicates, bool)
(sql_insert.cc:569)

I assume we are better to check the case with #19022 fix first.
