Description:
if you try to insert data in a table that is "full" (variable row length, 4GB of data reached), you get the error:
ERROR 1105 (HY000): Unknown error 

You should get a specific error

How to repeat:
create 2 tables with the same format, having varchar and blob fields.
fill the 4st table to contain 4GB
have some entries in the 2nd table.

insert ignore into table1 select * from table2;
ERROR 1105 (HY000): Unknown error 

the table format should not matter, anyway some info on it:
