Description:
Creating a bunch of InnoDB tables with referential constraints fails - but only sometimes and for varying constraints - with errno 150. The provided DDL looks OK.

The problem was found by a customer using a pre-release custom build of 5.0.30-enterprise on Windows XP. I was able to reproduce it with 5.0.34-bk and latest 5.0.36-bk on Linux 2.6.15 (x86). 5.1 seems not to be affected (tried with 5.1.15-bk). 4.1 is not affected according to customer.

How to repeat:
using the attached file test.ddl:

while true; do ( mysql <test.ddl || mysql -e "SHOW INNODB STATUS" ) >> log; done

Something was broken in 5.0.3x.

I had a crash on Linux now. Raising severity.

An update to the server versions involved in this bug: The customer was using version 5.0.30 successfully. The script began to fail only with v5.0.32 or newer.

Hello.  Can you make the test-case file (or an equivalent) mentioned in the original report available to everyone please (or otherwise send me a copy)?  I'd like to use it during testing when preparing a patch for the Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 release.

Regards,

Tim.
