    BUG#26080 - Memory Storage engine not working properly · 7078762e
    unknown authored
    Extending varchar column length with ALTER TABLE may result in unusable
    memory table.
    
    The problem is that we use fast ALTER TABLE in this case, which is not
    supported by now.
    
    This is fixed by refusing fast ALTER TABLE when extending varchar column.
    In other words force copy of a table during ALTER TABLE.
    
    Affects MEMORY tables in 5.1 only.

      For MEMORY, if varchar column extended, it should return incompatible for
      now. In other words force copy of a table during alter table.
