Description:
query with subquery on the same table causes mysql task to pin cpu to 50% and bogs down server.
had to stop the service to regain control.
i tried the same query on 2 different servers running 5.0.19-nt with the same bad result. 

select * from banktrans where fitid in
(select fitid from banktrans group by bank_account,fitid having count(fitid)>1 and fitid>'')

How to repeat:
issue a query similar to the one above on a varchar column in one of your medium sized tables.
the subquery by itself runs fine and produces 4 rows.
when i stick the main query in front of it the server hangs.

Thank you for a problem report. Please, send the SHOW CREATE TABLE and SHOW TABLE STATUS results fro your banktrans table.
