Description:
MySQL server crashes in Windows (but apparently not in Linux) with the following query:

SELECT DISTINCT id, str DIV 2 FROM test

If the field 'str' is a VARCHAR, the server crashes.

There is no problem if DISTINCT is not used, or if the field is a DOUBLE.

How to repeat:
1. Create the table: 

CREATE TABLE  `test` (
  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment,
  `str` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

2. Add some information. For example:

INSERT INTO `test` (`str`) VALUES ('100.95334');
INSERT INTO `test` (`str`) VALUES ('100.95334');
INSERT INTO `test` (`str`) VALUES ('200.48334');
INSERT INTO `test` (`str`) VALUES ('200.48334');
INSERT INTO `test` (`str`) VALUES ('200.48334');
INSERT INTO `test` (`str`) VALUES ('210.48334');
INSERT INTO `test` (`str`) VALUES ('1210.148334');

3. Execute the query:

SELECT DISTINCT id, str DIV 2 FROM test;
