Description:
If from a ndbapi program one reads the same column more than once,
one could hit the max message size limitation, which should
abort the operation with error code "TRY_TO_READ_TO_MUCH", however
due to a change introduced in 6.3.18, this check was not done correctly
which instead caused node crash

How to repeat:
new test-prg testNdbApi -n ReadColumnDuplicates T6
discovered regression

Suggested fix:
Fix define

Documented bugfix in the NDB-6.3.28 and 7.0.9 changelogs as follows:

        If an NDB API program reads the same column more than once, it
        is possible exceed the maximum allowable message size, in which
        case the operation should be aborted due to NDB error 880
        Tried to read too much - too many getValue
        calls, however due to a change introduced in MySQL
        Cluster NDB 6.3.18, the check for this was not done correctly,
        which instead caused a data node crash.

Closed.
