After a locking error the open table(s) were not fully
cleaned up for reuse. But they were put into the open table
cache even before the lock was tried. The next statement
reused the table(s) with a wrong lock type set up. This
tricked MyISAM into believing that it don't need to update
the table statistics. Hence CHECK TABLE reported a mismatch
of record count and table size.
Fortunately nothing worse has been detected yet. The effect
of the test case was that the insert worked on a read locked
table. (!)
I added a new function that clears the lock type from all
tables that were prepared for a lock. I call this function
when a lock failes.
No test case. One test would add 50 seconds to the
test suite. Another test requires file mode modifications.
I added a test script to the bug report. It contains three
cases for failing locks. All could reproduce a table
corruption. All are fixed by this patch.
This bug was not lock timeout specific.
Conversion from int and real numbers to UCS2 didn't work fine:
CONVERT(100, CHAR(50) UNICODE)
CONVERT(103.9, CHAR(50) UNICODE)
The problem appeared because numbers have binary charset, so,
simple charset recast binary->ucs2 was performed
instead of real conversion.
Fixed to make numbers pretend to be non-binary.

In a simple queries a result of the GROUP_CONCAT() function was always of
varchar type.
But if length of GROUP_CONCAT() result is greater than 512 chars and temporary
table is used during select then the result is converted to blob, due to
policy to not to store fields longer than 512 chars in tmp table as varchar
fields.
In order to provide consistent behaviour, result of GROUP_CONCAT() now
will always be converted to blob if it is longer than 512 chars.
Item_func_group_concat::field_type() is modified accordingly.
CONNECTION_ID() was implemented as a constant Item, i.e. an instance of
Item_static_int_func class holding value computed at creation time.
Since Items are created on parsing, and trigger statements are parsed
on table open, the first connection to open a particular table would
effectively set its own CONNECTION_ID() inside trigger statements for
that table.
Re-implement CONNECTION_ID() as a class derived from Item_int_func, and
compute connection_id on every call to fix_fields().
If the second or the third argument of a BETWEEN predicate was
a constant expression, like '2005.09.01' - INTERVAL 6 MONTH,
while the other two arguments were fields then the predicate
was evaluated incorrectly and the query returned a wrong
result set.
The bug was introduced in 5.0.17 when in the fix for 12612.
