Suggested fix:
Don't crash.

5.1.35 valgrind output clearly shows the problem each time

simpified testcase to cause the valgrind errors (and possible crash)

drop table if exists `t1`;
create table `t1`(`a` int);
explain extended 
select `a` from `t1`
union
select `a` from `t1`
order by `a`;

      Bug#43612 crash with explain extended, union, order by
      In UNION if we use last SELECT without braces and this
      SELECT have ORDER BY clause, such clause belongs to
      global UNION. At this moment it is parsed like last SELECT
      part and used further as 'unit->global_parameters->order_list' value.
      So during DESCRIBE EXTENDED we call select_lex->print_order() for
      last SELECT where order fields refer to tmp table 
      which already freed. It leads to crash.
      The fix is move such ORDER BY clause to
      global_parameters->order_list and cleanup
      last SELECT order_list.

Omer, this bug hits release and debug binaries.  the valgrind output tell us this.  however, some os's are more forgiving than others when it comes to this type of memory mismanagement.  64-bit windows binaries will always crash for example.  some glibc linux versions will get a signal 6, and some will not even crash the first time.
