Description:
Droping a nonexistent index with "ALTER TABLE DROP INDEX ..." 
gives error 1091 as expected, but droping any other index
(no matter if it exists or not) over the same connection
hangs the server.

How to repeat:
CREATE TABLE abc (i int);
ALTER TABLE abc DROP INDEX xyz;
ALTER TABLE abc DROP INDEX xyz;
