Description:
This seems similar to #18113 but happens in 5.1 and has paritioning related code in the backtrace.
SELECT * FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES.
The problem comes from after testing bug #14356 (BUG:Partitions: crash if range((select)))
Opening t12 crashes the server while doing SELECT * FROM I_S.TABLES. This bug is only a reminder what can happen and to save time for others who find the same.
How to repeat:
