Can you install the debug libraries and get a better backtrace that contains the decoded symbols?

It's quite difficult to tell where this is without the additional info.

output with debug symbols enabled. Please note that this was built based on the deb-multimedia 'unstable' repo sources. The patches applied do not seem to touch any files that could affect this.

full backtrace for the above trace. I'm reaaaaaly bad at c so I can't really figure out what/why this segfaults, looks like the 'to' char and 'dec' are set to sensible values.

The problem (I think) is 'dec=31' which is invalid, the precision (dec parameter) for my_useconds_to_str() in libmysqlclient should be 1 to 6.

From my_time.c

/**
  Print the microsecond part: ".NNN"
  @param to        OUT The string pointer to print at
  @param useconds      The microseconds value.
  @param dec           Precision, between 1 and 6.
  @return              The length of the result string.
*/
static inline int
my_useconds_to_str(char *to, ulong useconds, uint dec)
{
  DBUG_ASSERT(dec <= DATETIME_MAX_DECIMALS);
  return sprintf(to, ".%0*lu", dec,
                 useconds / (ulong) log_10_int[DATETIME_MAX_DECIMALS - dec]);
}

DATETIME_MAX_DECIMALS is 6 as defined in my_time.h , so if the given 'dec' value is greater than 6, access to log_to_int[] ends up being negative. The dec value is picked from 'field->decimals' which is a MYSQL_FIELD, after that my skills in c fail me and I can't figure out where the decimals value is actually coming from.

Either this is a mysql (libmysqlclient) bug or something funny is happening in my database to return a dec value of 31?

Confirmed the problem to be an invalid 'dec' value, don't know what is causing it to be 31, but with custom libmysqlclient code, changing my_useconds_to_str to be

static inline int
my_useconds_to_str(char *to, ulong useconds, uint dec)
{
  int prec;
  if( dec > DATETIME_MAX_DECIMALS )
    prec = DATETIME_MAX_DECIMALS;
  else
    prec = dec;

  DBUG_ASSERT(dec <= DATETIME_MAX_DECIMALS);
  return sprintf(to, ".%0*lu", prec,
                 useconds / (ulong) log_10_int[DATETIME_MAX_DECIMALS - prec]);
}

recordings do not crash the backend.

Resolution: Upstream Bug
Status: infoneeded_newclosed

In absence of any evidence to the contrary I'm going to call this an upstream bug.
