Description:
MySQL crushes if you SELECT a view which was created with EXISTS(or NOT EXISTS) clause.

It crushes only if the SELECT statement specifies the column name. If the SELECT statement uses '*' , it doesn't crush but returns "ERROR 1356 (HY000): View 'test.v2' references invalid table(s) or column(s)"  instead.
