Description:
When I open a DataTable, or a MySqlDataReader, with a table that has a year field, I get a System.OverflowException.

How to repeat:
Create a table, and create a year field in that table.  Setup a MySqlConnection, and call the ExecuteReader() method from a MySqlCommand.  When the data reader attempts to read the year field, the exception is thrown.  See the attached NUnit tests to repeat the behavior.

Suggested fix:
Since the problem occurs in the data reader, as well as the System.Data.DataTable, I would think the problem resides in the MySqlConnection class.

Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information 
about accessing the source trees is available at
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html

Additional info:

The following nunit test case now passes. 

		[Test()]
		public void YearType() 
		{
			execSQL("DROP TABLE IF EXISTS Test");
			execSQL("CREATE TABLE Test (yr YEAR)");
			execSQL("INSERT INTO Test VALUES (98)");
			execSQL("INSERT INTO Test VALUES (1990)");
			execSQL("INSERT INTO Test VALUES (2004)");

			MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand("SELECT * FROM Test", conn);
			MySqlDataReader reader = null;
			try 
			{
				reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
				reader.Read();
				Assert.AreEqual( 1998, reader.GetUInt32(0) );
				reader.Read();
				Assert.AreEqual( 1990, reader.GetUInt32(0) );
				reader.Read();
				Assert.AreEqual( 2004, reader.GetUInt32(0) );
			}
			catch (Exception ex) 
			{
				Assert.Fail( ex.Message );
			}
			finally 
			{
				if (reader != null) reader.Close();
			}
		}
