Description:
when I insert longer string into cp932 table than column definition,
MySQL can't trim string correctly, and then causes table crash.

How to repeat:
<<<<<problem case (cp932)>>>>>
root:mi> create table test (col1 varchar(1)) character set cp932;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

root:mi> insert into test values ('a');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

root:mi> insert into test values ('ab');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

root:mi> select * from test;
+------+
| col1 |
+------+
| a    |
| ab   | *this is incorrect. 'a' is the correct value.*
+------+
2 rows in set (0.00 sec)

root:mi> insert into test values ('abc');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

root:mi> select * from test;
ERROR 1194 (HY000): Table 'test' is marked as crashed and should be repaired
*table is crashed*

<<<<<correct case (sjis)>>>>>
root:mi> create table test (col1 varchar(1)) character set sjis;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

root:mi> insert into test values ('a');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

root:mi> insert into test values ('ab');
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

root:mi> insert into test values ('abc');
Query OK, 1 row affected, 1 warning (0.00 sec)

root:mi> select * from test;
+------+
| col1 |
+------+
| a    |
| a    |
| a    |
+------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)

It's reproducible in Windows.
And in Windows, these operation causes server crash.

root:mi> create table test (col1 varchar(1)) character set cp932;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.27 sec)

root:mi> insert into test values ('ab');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

root:mi> select * from test;
+------+
| col1 |
+------+
| ab   |
+------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

root:mi> insert into test values ('abc');
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.07 sec)

root:mi> select * from test;
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query
root:mi> select * from test;
ERROR 2006 (HY000): MySQL server has gone away
