Description:
In "template <uint default_width> class Bitmap", intersect(ulonglong) is implemented as follows:

  void intersect(ulonglong map2buff)
  {
    MY_BITMAP map2;
    bitmap_init(&map2, (uint32 *)&map2buff, sizeof(ulonglong)*8, 0);
    bitmap_intersect(&map, &map2);
  }

This implementation does not take into account that bitmap_init() initializes the supplied buffer with zeroes. As a result, 0 is always returned due to intersecting with a zero bitmap.

How to repeat:
Examine the code in Bitmap<default_width>::intersect(ulonglong map2buff).

Indeed, bitmap_init() ends up with:

bitmap_clear_all(map);

and it is defined in my_bitmap.h as:

#define bitmap_clear_all(MAP) \
  { memset((MAP)->bitmap, 0, 4*no_words_in_map((MAP))); }

This has been fixed in 5.7.1 in revno 5170.
