Bug#14640599 MEMORY LEAK WHEN EXECUTING STORED ROUTINE EXCEPTION HANDLER
When a SP handler is activated, memory is allocated to hold the MESSAGE_TEXT for the condition that caused the activation. The problem was that this memory was allocated on the MEM_ROOT belonging to the stored program. Since this MEM_ROOT is not freed until the stored program ends, a stored program that causes lots of handler activations can start using lots of memory. In 5.1 and earlier the problem did not exist as no MESSAGE_TEXT was allocated if a condition was raised with a handler present. However, this behavior lead to a number of other issues such as Bug#23032. This patch fixes the problem by allocating enough memory for the necessary MESSAGE_TEXTs in the SP MEM_ROOT when the SP starts and then re-using this memory each time a handler is activated. This is the 5.5 version of the patch.
