Bug #2048 some subselect queries crashes mysqld in case of innodb tables

Description:
This query works fine on myisam tables, but If I create innodb tables , the query:

select (select max(id) from bench6 where b=1 group by b) as x,b from bench5 where b=1

crashes mysqld following information in hostname.err:

mysqld got signal 11;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help diagnose
the problem, but since we have already crashed, something is definitely wrong
and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=134217728
read_buffer_size=1044480
max_used_connections=1
max_connections=100
threads_connected=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_connections = 335468 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

How to repeat:
I'll submit a test case

Suggested fix:
no idea

Thank you for bugreport, but I can't repeat it on current 4.1 tree (with your 
data from testcase.pl): 
+ select (select max(id) from bench6 where b=1 group by b) as x,b from bench5 
where b=1; 
+ x     b 
+ 902   1 
+ 902   1 
+ 902   1

+ 902   1 
+ 902   1 
+ 902   1 
+ 902   1 
+ 902   1 
 
feel free to reopen ticket if you know how to repeat it.

OK, I found my problem tables was creted with wrong type

Hi!

This looks like this could be yet another case of releasing the MySQL table locks too early.

I will add some diagnostic printf to InnoDB to print an error message if MySQL tries to perform a SELECT on an already committed transaction. In the AUTOCOMMIT=1 mode, InnoDB commits the transaction when thne last MySQL table lock is released in ::external_lock().

Regards,

Heikki
