- When creating an index for the sort, the number of rows plus 1 is used
to allocate a buffer. In this test case, the number of rows 4294967295
is the max value of an unsigned integer, so when 1 was added to it, a
buffer of size 0 was allocated causing the crash.
- Create new test suite for this bug's test suite as per QA.
