Description:
I'm using the mysql-5.2-rpl team tree.

I say:
set names utf32;
select 5;
Crash.

Compare: Bug #31615  	crash after set names ucs2 collate xxx

How to repeat:
set names utf32;
select 5;

Example:

mysql> set names utf32;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> select 5;
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Thank you for the bug report. Verified as described.

In the latest 6.0 version it works fine:
