Description:
Subquery with static tables (1 record) and rand() in where clause can't be 
resolved during optimisation (as it can be done for primary query) 

How to repeat:
create table t1 (a int); 
insert into t1 values (1); 
select benchmark(10000, (select a from t1 where a=200*rand())); 
explain select benchmark(10000, (select a from t1 where a=200*rand())); 
drop table t1; 
 

Suggested fix:
Use external table bit with random table bit inside subqueries
