User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:29.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0
Build Identifier:

Executing SQL query:
SELECT 1 AS one WHERE 1 IN (SELECT 1);
kills the mserver5 (Segmentation fault)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. start mserver5
2. start SQL Frontend (I tested via SQuirreL and mclient), connect to running mserver5
3. Execute SQL query:
   SELECT 1 AS one WHERE 1 IN (SELECT 1)

Actual Results:

bash-4.2$ /ufs/dinther/MonetDB201405/bin/mserver5 -d10
builtin opt gdk_dbpath = /ufs/dinther/MonetDB201405/var/monetdb5/dbfarm/demo
builtin opt gdk_debug = 0
builtin opt gdk_vmtrim = no
builtin opt monet_prompt = >
builtin opt monet_daemon = no
builtin opt mapi_port = 50000
builtin opt mapi_open = false
builtin opt mapi_autosense = false
builtin opt sql_optimizer = default_pipe
builtin opt sql_debug = 0

Segmentation fault
bash-4.2$

Expected Results:

no crashed server
and
a result of the query

It also crashes with following SQL queries:
SELECT 1 AS zero WHERE 1 NOT IN (SELECT 1);
and
SELECT 1 AS zero WHERE 1 IN (SELECT 2);

However it does NOT crash with SQL query;
SELECT 1 AS one WHERE 1 = 1 AND 1 IN (SELECT 1)
