Bug #10100 Stored procedures recursivity problem

Description:
MySQL 5's custom funcions does not accept recursivity nor it give any warnings.

Then I try this, mySQL create the function without any error.

But when I execute, the functions goes well until it tries the recursive comand. The output give the error:
ERROR 2027 (HY000): Malformed packet
and the connection to mySQL is lost.

I didnt tried with stored procedure but i guess it have the same problem.

How to repeat:
Try this:

delimiter //

DROP FUNCTION IF EXISTS test.recursivity;//
CREATE FUNCTION test.recursivity(prm INTEGER) RETURNS CHAR(50)
BEGIN
  DECLARE result CHAR(50) DEFAULT prm+' its below 6, variable is working';

  /*--- if prm > 10, the funcion will call itself with parameter 1 and all variables will turn null --*/
  IF prm > 5 THEN
    SELECT test.recursivity(1);
  END IF;

  RETURN result;
END;//

SELECT test.recursivity(1);//
SELECT test.recursivity(4);//
SELECT test.recursivity(5);//
SELECT test.recursivity(6);//

Suggested fix:
the least thing to do is to give an error then trying to create recursive function.

But recursive function would be greatly apreciated if suported. :(

Verified w/5.0.5:

mysql> SELECT test.recursivity(5);//
+---------------------+
| test.recursivity(5) |
+---------------------+
| 5                   |
+---------------------+
1 row in set, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT test.recursivity(6);//
ERROR 2027 (HY000): Malformed packet
