Description: When SELECTing from a timestamp based range partition where the table has no partition to handle values less than MAXVALUE and the SELECT condition reads from the last partition or greater, mysqld gets a signal 8.

Repeatable with 5.5.23, 5.5.24 and 5.5.25, NOT with 5.5.20, 5.5.21, 5.5.22 How to repeat: [revin@forge msb_5_5_24]$ ./use test

Miguel, have you tried with 5.5.25 official Oracle binaries as I did?

Not sure why this is still marked as can't repeat - have you tested with official Oracle binaries yet?

The problem still exists on 5.5.25a, not sure why this is still can't repeat?

So, please, wait for the official release of 5.5.27 with the fix.

Valeriy,

Thanks - looks like Miguel tested with 5.5.26 - is this coming to .26 or .27 as you mentioned?

Ahh, nvm, found my answer :) http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/news-5-5-26.html
