Description:
The MySQL Sever crashes when CREATE TABLE statement containing a particular "less than" clause is executed.

How to repeat:
create table t1 (id int auto_increment primary key, v varchar(12)) partition by range(ascii(v)) (partition p1 values less than (ascii(v)), partition p2 values less than maxvalue);

Suggested fix:
Issue an error when this statement is executed.
