How to repeat:
# those work:
#only one row (includes two rollup lines, but we dont see b=null)
select  distinct  a,sum(b) from (select 1  a,2 b) x group by a,b  with rollup;
+---+--------+
| a | sum(b) |
+---+--------+
| 1 |      2 |
| 1 |      2 |
|NULL |      2 |
+---+--------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

# 2 rows, but a and b in result (works
select  distinct  a,b,sum(b) from (select 1  a,2 b union select 1,3) x group by a,b  with
rollup;
+---+---+--------+
| a | b | sum(b) |
+---+---+--------+
| 1 | 2 |      2 |

| 1 |NULL |      5 |
|NULL |NULL |      5 |

4 rows in set (0.00 sec)

#CRASH
select  distinct  a,sum(b) from (select 1  a,2 b union select 1,3) x group by a,b  
with rollup;

#without rollup (works)
select  distinct  a,sum(b) from (select 1  a,2 b union select 1,3) x group by a,b ;
+---+--------+
| a | sum(b) |
+---+--------+
| 1 |      2 |
| 1 |      3 |
+---+--------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

#also crashes
 select  distinct  sum(b) from (select 1  a,2 b union select 1,3) x group by a,b  with
rollup;

# same with a table
create table x (a integer, b integer);
insert into x values (1,4), (2,2),(2,2), (4,1),(4,1),(4,1),(4,1);
select  distinct  sum(b) from (select 1  a,2 b union select 1,3) x group by a,b  with
rollup;

  olap.result, olap.test:
    Added a test for bug #8615.
  sql_select.cc:
    Fixed bug #8615.
    This fix only removed the cause of the reported crash.
    It does not resolve other problems of rollup queries
    with DISTINCT. They were fixed in the previous patch 
    for bug 8616.
