When processing a query with a recursive CTE a temporary table is used for
each recursive reference of the CTE. As any temporary table it uses its own
mem-root for table definition structures. Due to specifics of the current
implementation of ANALYZE stmt command this mem-root can be freed only at
the very of query processing. Such deallocation of mem-root memory happens
in close_thread_tables(). The function looks through the list of the tmp
tables rec_tables attached to the THD of the query and frees corresponding
mem-roots. If the query uses a stored function then such list is created
for each query of the function. When a new rec_list has to be created the
old one has to be saved and then restored at the proper moment.
The bug occurred because only one rec_list for the query containing CTE was
created. As a result close_thread_tables() freed tmp mem-roots used for
rec_tables prematurely destroying some data needed for the output produced
by the ANALYZE command.
