MySQL Bugs: #7648: Stored procedure crash when invoking a function that returns a bit

Bug #7648	Stored procedure crash when invoking a function that returns a bit
Submitted:	3 Jan 2005 23:12	Modified:	22 Apr 2005 18:31
Reporter:	Peter Gulutzan	Email Updates:
Status:	Closed	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Server	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0.3-alpha-debug	OS:	Linux (SUSE 9.2)
Assigned to:	Antony Curtis	CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
If a function returns BIT(8), the server crashes when I invoke the function. 
 
It's not impossible that this is in the same area as bug#3788, but it doesn't look like the same 
bug. 
 

How to repeat:
mysql> create function fbit () returns bit(8) return 'a' ; 
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec) 
 
mysql> select fbit(); 
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query
