    >   Bug #48131: crash group by with rollup, distinct, filesort,
    >               with temporary tables
    >   
    >   There were two problems the test case from this bug was
    >   triggering:
    >   
    >   1. JOIN::rollup_init() was supposed to wrap all constant Items
    >   into another object for queries with the WITH ROLLUP modifier
    >   to ensure they are never considered as constants and therefore
    >   are written into temporary tables if the optimizer chooses to
    >   employ them for DISTINCT/GROUP BY handling.
    >   
    >   However, JOIN::rollup_init() was called before
    >   make_join_statistics(), so Items corresponding to fields in
    >   const tables could not be handled as intended, which was
    >   causing all kinds of problems later in the query execution. In
    >   particular, create_tmp_table() assumed all constant items
    >   except "hidden" ones to be removed earlier by remove_const()
    >   which led to improperly initialized Field objects for the
    >   temporary table being created. This is what was causing crashes
    >   and valgrind errors in storage engines.
    >   
    >   2. Even when the above problem had been fixed, the query from
    >   the test case produced incorrect results due to some
    >   DISTINCT/GROUP BY optimizations being performed by the
    >   optimizer that are inapplicable in the WITH ROLLUP case.
    >   
    >   Fixed by disabling inapplicable DISTINCT/GROUP BY optimizations
    >   when the WITH ROLLUP modifier is present, and splitting the
    >   const-wrapping part of JOIN::rollup_init() into a separate
    >   method which is now invoked after make_join_statistics() when
    >   the const tables are already known.
