Subject:                table modification [ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN name];
                        on large table (1.7gb) crashed mysqldnt

Description:    -       attempt to extract a longblob column from a large table
                                with ca. 200.000 records
                                into a separate table (successful)
                        -       dropping the blob_column from the large table (success)
                                consecutive access to the database by an odbc-client
                                caused the server to crash.

                        stack_trace (dump.txt) attached

How-To-Repeat:  bug has been reproduced a 2nd time by dropping another
                        column from the same table.
                        Actually, the original table is not available anymore,
                        because the crash corrupted the indexfile.
                        Further attempts to reproduce the failure on backup-tables in 
progress.

Fix:                    none so far
