Description:
I try to create a partitioned table with a long varchar column.
Crash.

How to repeat:
/* First example: not very long, but with utf8_spanish2_ci */
drop table if exists t9;
set names utf8;
set @@storage_engine=innodb;
create table t9 (s1 varchar(2000) character set utf8 collate utf8_spanish2_ci)
      partition by range column_list(s1)
      (partition p1 values less than (column_list('CZ')),
       partition p2 values less than (column_list('CH')),
       partition p3 values less than (column_list('D')));
insert into t9 values ('czz'),('chi'),('ci'),('cg');
select * from t9 where s1 between 'cg' and 'ci';

/* Second example: very long */
drop table if exists t1;
CREATE TABLE t1 (a varchar(5130)) PARTITION BY RANGE COLUMN_LIST(a)
(PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN (COLUMN_LIST('y')));
select * from t1 where a='x';
