pretty sure this is a recent regression in 5.1, else i'd have seen it long ago.

How to repeat:
#on full debug build of 5.1 bzr:

drop table if exists `t1`;
create table `t1`(`a` char(32) not null)default charset=latin1 engine=myisam;
create spatial index `i` on `t1`(`a`);

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=8384512
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=1
max_threads=151
threads_connected=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 337768 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

[9 Mar 2011 7:35] MySQL Verification Team
i wonder if the fix for this bug also fixed this crasher (on release build):

---
drop table if exists `g4`;
create table `g4` (`a` binary(32) not null,spatial key (`a`)) engine=myisam;
insert into `g4` values ("#");

because it's not repeatable in 5.1.57 from bzr.

Noted in 5.1.57, 5.5.11, 5.6.2 changelogs.

Attempting to create a spatial index on a CHAR column longer than 31
bytes led to an assertion failure if the server was compiled with
safemutex support.
