Verified just as described with recent mysql-next-mr on Ubuntu:

...
Version: '5.6.99-m4-debug'  socket: '/tmp/mysql.sock'  port: 3306  Source distribution
mysqld: dtoa.c:465: my_strtod: Assertion `str != ((void *)0) && end != ((void *)0) && *end != ((void *)0) && error != ((void *)0)' failed.
100318 10:26:02 - mysqld got signal 6 ;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=8388608
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=1
max_threads=151
thread_count=1
connection_count=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 337841 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...

      Bug #52165: Assertion failed: file .\dtoa.c, line 465
      
      The failing assertion was written with the assumption that a NULL
      string can never be passed to my_strtod(). However, an empty string
      may be passed under some circumstances by passing str == NULL and
      *end == NULL to my_strtod().
      
      Fixed the assertion to take the above case into account.

Noted in 5.5.5, 6.0.14 changelogs.

An assertion was raised as a result of a NULL string being passed to
the dtoa code.
