Description:
------------
Mysqli restores garbage from longtext columns in mysql 5.0.51a connected over TCP (also happens with Unix domain sockets) and, after a random number of rows, seg faults.  The number of rows is unpredictable but consistent.  If you find something that crashes after 11 rows, it will crash after 11 rows every time.  Change the order by clause and it might crash every time after 3 rows.

As per bugs #44867 and several others I've found, people have been reporting this issue since as early as 2005 and it still hasn't been addressed.  Can someone PLEASE actually look into it?

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?
$conn = new mysqli('localhost', 'user', 'password', 'db');
$stmt = $conn->prepare("SELECT name, longtext1 FROM sampletable");
$stmt->execute();
$stmt->bind_result($name, $value);
$count = 1;
while ($stmt->fetch()) {
    $size = sizeof($value);
    echo "$name $size\n";
    $count++;
}
$stmt->close();
?>

Expected result:
----------------
To retrieve the exact contents of all longtext values without crashing.

Actual result:
--------------
Segmentation fault.

Bug confirmed here on PHP 5.3 with Mysql 5.0.51
SELECT query : 

"SELECT id, UNCOMPRESS(myfield) FROM mytable ORDER BY id LIMIT 8"
myfield is BLOB.

How can we help to get it fixed ?

"Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault."

Note: No bug when mysqlnd is used. (configure with --with-mysqli=mysqlnd)

Isn't the mysqlnd option for PHP 5.3+?  If so, that's hardly a solution since 5.3 isn't out yet.

Finally could reproduce this, see bug #47928 (I'm closing this report as 
the other has short and easy reproduce script now.. :)

I sure wish I could figure out why someone marked this bug as "Bogus" rather than, you know, investigating it. Lo and behold it FINALLY is verified. Sorry but the treatment this issue has got (going on for 2+ years through various bugs) is nothing short of ludicrous.

The reason has been told: duplicated from #47928
