Description:
If I try to show description of the table by "describe" command at MySQL Command Line, database shuts down right after I issue the "describe" command.

How to repeat:
At MySQL Command Line windows, 
connect database,

and issue "desc" or "describe" command.

For example, 

mysql > describe test; <Enter>    test is a table

database will soon shut down.
