Description:
create table xxxx (upgrade int);
this will fail in version 5.0.24 and you get a error message:
ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'upgrade int)' at line 1

create table xxxx (upgradex int);
this will succeed.

in version 5.0.15, there is no such error.

How to repeat:
use the following to create a table.

create table xxxx (upgrade int);

Why "UPGRADE" must be a reserved word ?
If there's no good reason for it, we should un-reserve it.

  Bug #21772: can not name a column 'upgrade' when create a table in version 5.0.24
  Upgrade was a reserved word. Unreserve UPGRADE so it can be used in unquoted identifiers.

Also verified that UPGRADE is not a keyword in SQL-2003.

Patch approved.

Noted in 5.0.26, 5.1.12 changelogs.

UPGRADE was treated as a reserved word, although it is not.
