Description:
Output gets truncated. MySQL 4.1 not affected.
The following test case should return

|    1 | 345                 |
|    2 | 34                  |

but instead it returns

|    1 | 34                  |
|    2 | 34                  |

Regards,

How to repeat:
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS t1;
CREATE TABLE t1 (i int, j int);
INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (1,1),(2,2);
SELECT DISTINCT i, ELT(j, '345', '34') FROM t1;
