Description:
I had a problem with vietnamese collation.

this is the log:

090618 12:48:57 - 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=8384512
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=11
max_threads=151
threads_connected=11
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 337720 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...
stack_bottom = 0xb15ff210 thread_stack 0x30000
Trying to get some variables.
Some pointers may be invalid and cause the dump to abort...
thd->query at 0xab2d0c0 = select * from prova where lower(nome)=lower('N')
thd->thread_id=15
thd->killed=NOT_KILLED
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.

I found this issue on MySQL 5.1.32 
SO: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2

How to repeat:
I tried the workaround to add vietnamese collation in mysql community server 5.1.32.

I have used the file http://vietunicode.sourceforge.net/howto/Index.xml

then I executed the following commands

CREATE DATABASE prova CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_vietnamese1_ci;

create table prova (nome varchar(10))Engine=InnoDB;

insert into prova (nome) values ('hello!');

select * from prova where lower(nome)=lower('N');

When I use the function lower on a field created with vietnamese collation
db closes all connection and restarts

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Bug is repeatable with MyISAM as well.

Bug is not repeatable with one of our collation definition.

Sveta,
thanks for your reply!

Issue cannot be repeated with a MySQL supplied character set

Is this not a bug???

You suggested ( http://bugs.mysql.com/4745 ) to use a workaround to solve a limit of mysql and then this workaround that is showed like a feature (to add a user defined collate) won't and you say that is not a bug???

Are you joking me???
