Description:
If a table with a name larger than 32 bytes is used it will crash the ndbd
process on Mac OS X due to overwriting the stack.

The error was in that getWords was called with a length parameter which
expected the length in words but got in bytes.

How to repeat:
Create table with name larger than 32 bytes and insert a record

Suggested fix:
byte length => word length (one-liner)
