Description:
This scenario causes many crashes and 4GB memory allocations in random tests.  Run standalone, there will probably just be valgrind warnings:

Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

How to repeat:
#run mysqld in valgrind:

drop table if exists `t1`;
create table `t1`(`a` polygon NOT NULL)engine=myisam;
insert into `t1` values (geomfromtext("point(0 1)"));
insert into `t1` values (geomfromtext("point(1 0)"));
select * from (select polygon(`t1`.`a`) as `p` from `t1` order by `t1`.`a`) `d`;

this is a serious 5.1 bug.  it manifests itself in many different ways, for example:

drop table if exists `t1`;
create table `t1`(`a` polygon NOT NULL)engine=myisam;
insert into `t1` values (geomfromtext("point(0 1)"));
insert into `t1` values (geomfromtext("point(1 0)"));
select group_concat(distinct polygon(`t1`.`a`)) from `t1` order by `t1`.`a`;

Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)
at 0x5B3502: group_concat_key_cmp_with_distinct (item_sum.cc:2818)
by 0x9DAEF5: tree_insert (tree.c:210)
by 0x5B7C60: Unique::unique_add (sql_class.h:2960)
by 0x5B4526: Item_func_group_concat::add (item_sum.cc:3150)
by 0x70B716: update_sum_func (sql_select.cc:15817)
by 0x70267B: end_send_group (sql_select.cc:12481)
....

so, i have to disable all spatial columns in 5.1 testing until this is fixed.

affects 5.5.8 also. please fix so that further testing might be possible.

drop table if exists `t`;
create table `t`(`a` linestring not null,`b` int) engine=myisam;
insert into t set a=geomfromtext("point(1 1)"),b=0;
insert into t set a=geomfromtext("point(1 1)"),b=0;
select multipolygon(`a`) from `t` group by `b`;

Item_func_spatial_collection::fix_length_and_dec didn't call parent's method, so
the maybe_null was set to '0' after it. But in this case the result was
just NULL, that caused wrong behaviour.
