Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server: Stored Routines	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0.16-debug	OS:	Linux (SUSE 10.0)
Assigned to:	Per-Erik Martin	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
If there is an undefined variable, and an exception handler,
MySQL hangs (the exception handler loops forever).

How to repeat:
mysql> create procedure p () begin declare continue handler for sqlexception set @a=5;  if v then select 'a'; end if; end//
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> call p()//
