Description:

The statement

LOAD DATA INFILE '<filename>' 
      INTO TABLE bug
      (@TEST)
      SET test = CONVERT_TZ( '2007-11-11 11:11',
                             'SYSTEM',
                             @TEST
                            );

leaks memory if it encounters invalid timezone values.

How to repeat:

Create the table 

CREATE TABLE bug (
  test  DATETIME
);

and load the data created with 

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;

my $i;
my $maxi = 10000000;

for ($i = 0; $i < $maxi ; $i++) {
	print "$i,xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx\n";
}

by piping STDOUT to <filename>.
