Description:
It seems there may be some sort of ABI problem between 5.0 and 5.1 versions of libmysqlclient15. When I build a program using libmysqlclient15 and libndbclient3 both from 5.1, things work fine. But if I mix libmysqlclient15 from 5.0 and libndbclient3 from 5.1, I get a segfault when I try to end the program. 

How to repeat:
I'm attaching a test case. Build it and run it and you should see: 

Insert time for 10 1177965353 -- 1177965353 = 0
Testing Query Time
Select time for 10 1177965353 -- 1177965353 = 0
NDBAPI time for 10 1177965353 -- 1177965353 = 0
*** stack smashing detected ***: ./ndbapi_simple_index terminated
Aborted (core dumped)

Suggested fix:
Not really sure. I think if libmysqlclient15 from 5.0 and 5.1 can't be used interchangably, then we need to bump the soname in 5.1, as otherwise we are breaking things.

Thank you for the report.

I can not repeate described behaviour on Linux with MySQl-5.0.37 and last MySQL 5.1.17.

Please try with last versions and if you still have problems, feel free to reopen the bug report and indicate more information about your platform.
