mysqld crashes on certain ALTER TABLE queries (MySQL Bug #31145)

Status in “mysql-dfsg-5.1” source package in Lucid:
Fix Committed
Status in “mysql-dfsg-5.1” source package in Karmic:

Bug description:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=31145
This bug causes mysqld from "5.1.41-3ubuntu12.7" to segfault. This is
a simple 1 line fix that was added to MySQL 5.1.43. Here is the
patch: http://lists.mysql.com/commits/94936.
Could you please backport this fix into the 5.1.41 package on Ubuntu
10.04 LTS?
==== Info for SRU in Karmic, Lucid ====
IMPACT: some ALTER TABLE queries crash the server.
It is fixed in Maverick (mysql-server-5.1 5.1.49-1ubuntu8.1). Tested
and confirmed.
TEST CASE:
Install mysql-server-5.1, use the CLI to run the following queries
(taken from the upstream bugreport):
CREATE DATABASE grtdiff_alter_test;
CREATE TABLE grtdiff_alter_test.t1 (t TEXT, `id` int(11) DEFAULT NULL, `id2` int(11)
DEFAULT NULL) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
ALTER TABLE `grtdiff_alter_test`.`t1` DROP COLUMN `t` , ADD COLUMN `t2` TEXT NULL FIRST;
The last command will return:
ERROR 2013 (HY000): Lost connection to MySQL server during query
And in the /var/log/daemon.log you'll see:
Dec 28 23:52:39 utest-lls32 init: mysql main process (2184) terminated with status 1
Dec 28 23:52:39 utest-lls32 init: mysql main process ended, respawning

a.k.a daemon crashed and was restarted.
After applying the fix the above queries will run without a crash.
REGRESSION POTENTIAL: should be low. The patch was taken directly from
upstream (see above commit link).
