Description:
Certain failures in a SELECT causes the OPENing of a cursor to hang
the client. (It seems the error message is never sent.)

How to repeat:
create table t1 (a int);
delimiter |;
create procedure cur()
begin
  declare c cursor for select a from t1 order by aname;
  open c;
end|
delimiter ;|
call cur();
