Description:
EXPLAIN SELECT FROM view with ORDER BY yield server crash.

There is no problem without ORDER BY.

How to repeat:
REATE OR REPLACE VIEW test_view AS
  SELECT
    table_schema AS object_schema
   ,table_name   AS object_name
   ,table_type   AS object_type
    FROM information_schema.tables
ORDER BY object_schema;

EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM test_view;

Accoriding to Igor, the problem has nothing to do with VIEWs. It is a problem of INFORMATION_SCHEMA and derived tables.
Here is a simpler testcase: 

mysql > explain select * from (select table_name from information_schema.tables ) AS a;
