Build Identifier:

The dropped default value definition seem to return after another columns default definition in the same table is dropped.
See steps to reproduce.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Start mserver5 (MonetDB 5 server v11.17.21 "Jan2014-SP3")
2. Start mclient
3. Run SQL cammnds:
   create table def_test (c1 integer default 5, c2 text default 'initial_default');
   insert into def_test default values;
   select * from def_test;

alter table def_test alter column c1 drop default;
insert into def_test default values;
select * from def_test;

alter table def_test alter column c2 drop default;
insert into def_test default values;
select * from def_test;

alter table def_test alter column c1 drop default;
insert into def_test default values;
select * from def_test;

alter table def_test alter column c2 drop default;
insert into def_test default values;
select * from def_test;

Actual Results:

Expected Results:

The default definition of c1 should not reappear after running
alter table def_test alter column c2 drop default;

and the default definition of c2 should not reappear after running
alter table def_test alter column c1 drop default;

Running
alter table def_test alter column c1 drop default;
and
alter table def_test alter column c2 drop default;
the second time should result in an error.

The last 3 inserted records are also wrong. They should have null values.
