Description:
I create a partitioned table using the -max server.
I select from information_schema.partitions with a non-max server.
Crash.

How to repeat:
BUILD/compile-pentium-debug-max
Start server
Connect with client
USE any database (I use "db1")

mysql> create table t (s1 int) partition by list (s1) (partition p1 values in (1));
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)

mysql> select count(*) from information_schema.partitions;
+----------+
| count(*) |
+----------+
|       40 |                         /* the number doesn't matter */
+----------+
1 row in set (0.03 sec)

Stop server

BUILD/compile-pentium-debug
Start server
Connect with client
USE any database (I use "db1")

mysql> select count(*) from information_schema.partitions;
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query
