to build the test program do:

  ./configure --with-mysql=/mysql/install/prefix && make
  
to test first install dump.sql 

  mysql -u... < dump.sql
  
then run 

  ./bug15517
  
this should work fine

now perform

  ALTER TABLE test.ndb_test MODIFY id VARCHAR(32);
  
and run

 ./bug15517
 
again, this brings down the data nodes with

  Error 4010: Node failure caused abort of transaction

cluster and node logs are part of this tarball
