Description:
I have a simple test case (derived from the NIST tests), which crashes MySQL 5.0 .
MySQL 4.1 works successful.

My environment:
   - Intel PC with Linux(SuSE 9.1)
   - MySQL compiled from source
        Version 5.0 ChangeSet@1.1682, 2004-11-01
        Version 4.1 ChangeSet@1.2070, 2004-11-01

As far as I remember MySQL 5.0 (last Changeset around end of September)
did not show that crash.

How to repeat:
Please use my test file, copy it to mysql-test/t
  ./mysql-test-run ml_err39

I assume that the MySQL manual: 13.1.10. UPDATE Syntax
<cut>
 Currently, you cannot update a table and select from the same table in a subquery.
<cut>
has to be applied.
That means as long as the limitation above is not removed, the server should give
an error message.
