For some unknown reason I cannot repeat this bug anymore, even though the code that prints the warning message is still there.

Can reproduce this with 5.1.60 but not with 5.5.30 or 5.6.12 So close as "Close" or as "Won't fix" (for 5.1.x)?
Description: a minimally privileged user can fill the disk by running queries that cause this to be printed to the error log: 100917 1:56:08 [ERROR] Can't find description of time zone '000000000000' 100917 1:56:08 [ERROR] Can't find description of time zone '000000000000' 100917 1:56:08 [ERROR] Can't find description of time zone '001.7569e+21' 100917 1:56:08 [ERROR] Can't find description of time zone '001.7569e+21' How to repeat: select convert_tz(1,repeat('a',999999),1); run this a gazillion trillion zillion times. check disk space. Suggested fix: the bug is that the error in the error log should be returned to the client instead. nothing must be printed to the error log.
