Description:
I create a table with a longblob with 10,000,000 bytes.
I say BACKUP DATABASE.
Crash.

How to repeat:
mysql> create database y;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> use y
Database changed
mysql> create table t (s1 longblob) engine=falcon;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.30 sec)

mysql> set @@max_allowed_packet = 50000000;
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> insert into t values (repeat('a',10000000));
Query OK, 1 row affected (13.39 sec)

mysql> backup database y to '10.bak';
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query

Can not repeat the failure in the current mysql-6.0-backup tree. 
The tree contains a patch for BUG#37212 which apparently also fixes
this issue.
