Description:
If I have a table with at least two rows, one of which contains NULL, and I do SELECT
DISTINCT AVG(...) ... GROUP BY ... WITH ROLLUP, crash.

I know that "distinct avg()" sounds similar to "avg(distinct)" which is bug#9799, but the
circumstances are different.

How to repeat:
mysql> create table t6 (s1 int);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.01 sec)

mysql> insert into t6 values (null),(1);
Query OK, 2 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Records: 2  Duplicates: 0  Warnings: 0

mysql> select distinct avg(s1) as x from t5 group by s1 with rollup;
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Thank you for the bug report.
The last query in the test case changed the table name t5->t6:

select distinct avg(s1) as x from t6 group by s1 with rollup;
