Description:
When using the NdbOperation::equal() method on a VARCHAR field
using wrong formatting in equal()s first parameter leads to node shutdowns.
When using wrong formatting on other field types like CHAR an error
is returned but clustor operation is not affected (as expected)

How to repeat:
See attached tarball

Suggested fix:
Implement better parameter checking, an API error should never be able to bring the
cluster down
