Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information 
about accessing the source trees is available at
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html

Additional info:

This bug did not only affect REPLACE but also INSERT ... SELECT and CREATE ... SELECT.

The problem was a stack overrun when the GROUP BY part contained a NULL value.

The bug was fixed in 4.1. I have now also fixed this in 4.0

The fix will appear in 4.0.19
