Merge a patch from MySQL AB:

ChangeSet@1.2288, 2006-08-29 15:35:05+02:00, guilhem@gbichot3.local +2 -0
  Fix for BUG#20866 "show table status on innodb raises assertion"
  and its duplicate BUG#19057 "Test 'rpl_row_func003' fails on SuSE SLES9 x86".
  It was an assertion failure, only in debug builds, not present
  in released versions (nothing to document).
  It happened when doing SHOW TABLE STATUS on an InnoDB table
  having an auto_increment column, right after creating the table.

    Before a val_() calls on a Field object, if that field was not marked
    for read, we need to mark it. This is explained here:
    ChangeSet 1.2119.601.1 2006/06/04 18:52:22 monty@mysql.com
    quoting the changeset's comment:
    
      - If a handler needs to call Field->val() or Field->store() on columns
        that are not used in the query, one should install a temporary
        all-columns-used map while doing so. For this, we provide the following
        functions:
      
        my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->read_set);
        field->val();
        dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->read_set, old_map);
      
        and similar for the write map:
      
        my_bitmap_map *old_map= dbug_tmp_use_all_columns(table, table->write_set);
        field->val();
        dbug_tmp_restore_column_map(table->write_set, old_map);
      
        If this is not done, you will sooner or later hit a DBUG_ASSERT
        in the field store() / val() functions.
        (For not DBUG binaries, the dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() and
        dbug_tmp_restore_column_map() are inline dummy functions and should
        be optimized away be the compiler).
    
    Note that I verified that the bug didn't exist in non-debug builds.
