copy_if_not_alloced() did not handle situations when
"from" is a constant string pointing to a substring of "to",
so this code part freed "to" but then tried to copy its old (already freed)
content to a new buffer:

  if (to->realloc(from_length))
    return from;
  if ((to->str_length=MY_MIN(from->str_length,from_length)))
    memcpy(to->Ptr,from->Ptr,to->str_length);

Adding a new code piece that catches such constant substrings
and propery reallocs "to" to preserve its important part referenced
by "from".
