    Bug#14397 - OPTIMIZE TABLE with an open HANDLER causes a crash · 74781d65
    ingo@mysql.com authored
    Version for 5.0.
    It fixes three problems:
    1. The cause of the bug was that we did not check the table version for
     the HANDLER ... READ commands. We did not notice when a table was
     replaced by a new one. This can happen during ALTER TABLE, REPAIR
     TABLE, and OPTIMIZE TABLE (there might be more cases). I call the fix
     for this problem "the primary bug fix".
    2. mysql_ha_flush() was not always called with a locked LOCK_open.
     Though the function comment clearly said it must.
     I changed the code so that the locking is done when required. I call
     the fix for this problem "the secondary fix".
    3. In 5.0 (not in 4.1 or 4.0) DROP TABLE had a possible deadlock flaw in
     concur with FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK. I call the fix for this
     problem "the 5.0 addendum fix".
