Description:
Occasionally when attempting to stop a long-running query, ctrl-c causes the mysql.exe client to crash.  Stack trace is attached from 5.1.7 beta which can pinpoint the crash location in the source.

How to repeat:
mysql -uroot -p test
<issue some long running query>
drop table if exists t1;
create table t1(id int);
insert into t1 values (1),(2),(3),(4),(5);
insert into t1 select * from t1; //repeat this a few times to get millions of rows.

select * from t1 group by id order by id desc;

Interrupt the above query by hitting control-c.

A popup dialog box had error, and I received this message:

Error: Safemalloc link list destroyed, discovered at '\builds\mysql-5.1.7-beta\vio\vio.c:233'
root=009FF558,count=-1,irem=009F4878

Suggested fix:
fix the cleanup code that shuts down the connection.

stack from debug version of mysql.exe in VS.NET

Attachment: stack.txt (text/plain), 810 bytes.

The line:

my_free((gptr) vio->read_buffer, MYF(MY_ALLOW_ZERO_PTR));

in the vio_delete function in vio.c caused the assertion.

  Bug#17926: mysql.exe crashes when ctrl-c is pressed in windows
  
  SIGINT is handled in funny ways on windows, which could lead to problems when
  Control-C was pressed in the client during a long-running query.  Now Control-C
  during a query aborts that query (by sending KILL to the server on a second
  connexion), while Control-C outside of a running query terminates the client.
