Description:
I built the innodb_plugin-1.0.0-5.1 on windows, with 5.1.25 bk source, and ran some tests.
one of the create tables crashed with stack trace:

mysqld.exe!strchr
mysqld.exe!row_drop_table_for_mysql_no_commit
mysqld.exe!row_create_index_for_mysql
mysqld.exe!create_index
mysqld.exe!ha_innobase::create
mysqld.exe!ha_create_table
mysqld.exe!rea_create_table
mysqld.exe!mysql_create_table_no_lock
mysqld.exe!mysql_create_table
mysqld.exe!mysql_execute_command

Re-running the create table didn't crash, but instead gave this error:

ERROR 1118 (42000): Row size too large. The maximum row size for the used table type, not
counting BLOBs, is 8126. You have to change some columns to TEXT or BLOBs

How to repeat:
I'll see how this happened and make a testcase.

full stack in file to avoid untidy wrapping.

then, row_drop_table_for_mysql(index->table_name, trx, FALSE); is called but index struct
members have bogus/uninitialized values:

setting as verified.  I've reported this bug in the innodb forums also.

I forgot to mention you should first run these to setup the file format:

SET GLOBAL innodb_file_format=“Barracuda”;
SET GLOBAL innodb_file_per_table=ON;

Vasil,

can you look at this. Probably easy to fix.

It turns out that standard InnoDB in MySQL 5.1 is also subject to this bug. Fixed there
too.

Pushed into 5.1.25-rc

Noted in 5.1.25 changelog.

A potential rare crash in CREATE INDEX for InnoDB tables was fixed.

Setting report to Need Doc Info pending push of fix into 6.0.x.

Setting report to Patch queued pending re-push of this patch.

Pushed into 6.0.6-alpha

The push into 5.1 was reverted, so there is no 5.1.x changelog entry.

The push into 6.0.x was a null merge that changed nothing. Resetting report to Patch
Approved pending further push of patch into 6.0.x.

The "parent" report for this set of bugs is Bug#32440.

Merged into 6.0.6-alpha, according to Tim. But the patch has not been pushed into 5.1
yet.

Noted in 6.0.6 changelog.

Setting report to Need Doc Info pending push into 5.1.x.

This fix appears to be present in 5.1.28, but we need confirmation of the correct 3-part
version for the changelog so we can document and close.

Thanks!

This was fixed in 5.1.31 (and 6.0.6), not 5.1.28 or 5.1.25.

Noted in 5.1.31 changelog.
