Description:
Attempt to reorganize an existing MyISAM partitioned table to split partitions causes crash.

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE `t1` (
  `c1` int(11) DEFAULT NULL,
  `c2` varchar(30) DEFAULT NULL,
  `c3` date DEFAULT NULL
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

*** fill with 8 million rows ***

mysql> alter table t1
    -> partition by range (year(c3))
    -> (PARTITION p5 VALUES LESS THAN (2000), PARTITION p10 VALUES LESS THAN (2010));

mysql> alter table t1
    -> reorganize partition p5 into
    -> (PARTITION p1 VALUES LESS THAN (1996),
    ->  PARTITION p2 VALUES LESS THAN (1997),
    ->  PARTITION p3 VALUES LESS THAN (1998),
    ->  PARTITION p4 VALUES LESS THAN (1999),
    ->  PARTITION p5 VALUES LESS THAN (2000));

Crash...

The patch developed for BUG#19122 solves this one as well
