Description:
When running ALTER TABLE whilst a backup is executing with START BACKUP the mysqld node running the ALTER TABLE crashes with an assert.

mysqld: protocol.cc:416: void net_end_statement(THD*): Assertion `0' failed.
090506 15:33:52 - mysqld got signal 6 ;
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=8384512
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=1
max_threads=151
threads_connected=1
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 338315 K
bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...

The manual page at http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/crashing.html contains
information that should help you find out what is causing the crash.

How to repeat:
Single ndbd with single mysqld

1. mysql> CREATE TABLE t1 (a int) ENGINE=NDB;
2. ndb_mgm> START BACKUP
3. mysql> ALTER TABLE t1 ADD KEY (a);

There should be roughly 0.25 - 0.5 second gap between executing the statements in points 2 & 3.

Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.87 sec)
