around the original functions. These will ensure that error
message is always in unique form, reduce code and print the
right alternatives automatically in an error case.

Problem:
When creating a temporary field for a temporary table in create_tmp_field_from_field(), a resulting field is created as an exact copy of an original one (in Field::new_field()). However, Field_enum and Field_set contain a pointer (typelib) to memory allocated in the parent table's MEM_ROOT, which under some circumstances may be deallocated later by the time a temporary table is used.
Solution:
Override the new_field() method for Field_enum and Field_set and create a separate copy of the typelib structure in there.
