Hello Sasha,

SP> Worked fine for me. You table did not have any records, by the way. Please SP> create a full test case we can run and see the crash, preferably in
mysqltest SP> format ( see mysql-test/t directory for examples in the source
distribution).

/usr/local/mysql-3.23.32/mysql-test> m alter_crash.test # # Test of alter table #

drop table if exists t1;

CREATE TABLE t1 ( id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', category_id tinyint(4) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', type_id tinyint(4) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', body text NOT NULL, user_id int(11) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', status enum('new','old') NOT NULL default 'new', PRIMARY KEY (id) ) TYPE=MyISAM;

ALTER TABLE t1 ORDER BY t1.id, t1.status, t1.type_id, t1.user_id, t1.body;
