Description:
when we execute following query on partitioned table of live mysql database server,
we got this error -
------
mysql>ALTER TABLE abc_xyz ADD PARTITION ( PARTITION p1025 VALUES LESS THAN(735488));
ERROR 1499 (HY000): Too many partitions (including subpartitions) were defined

How to repeat:
We got this first time, previously when we extend partition, we did not get any error from server.
