Description:
It looks like any assignment of a string with a float value,
where the absolute value is smaller than 1, to a DECIMAL
leads to a server crash.

--disable_warnings
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
--enable_warnings

CREATE TABLE t1 ( f1 DECIMAL(10) );

# Crash
INSERT INTO t1 SET f1 = '99.0e-2';

# harmless variants without crash
INSERT INTO t1 SET f1 = 99.0e-2;
INSERT INTO t1 SET f1 = '100.0e-2';

SELECT '99.0e-2' INTO OUTFILE 'infile.txt';
# also Crash
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE 'var/master-data/test/infile.txt' INTO TABLE t1;

My environment:
   - Intel PC with Linux(SuSE 9.1)
   - MySQL compiled from source
        Version 5.0 ChangeSet@1.1859, 2005-04-20
