Description:
If I say "LESS THAN (MAX_VALUE)" or "LESS THAN (x1)"
inside a "(PARTITION ...)" clause, I get a crash.
After that, tables in the database are unreadable.

How to repeat:
mysql> create table t100 (s1 int) partition by range(s1) (partition x1 values less than (max_value));
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Same issue except no table corruption apparent. 5.1.2-a_drop5p4-log on SUSE 9.3 and SuSE 10 RC 1.
