The "RELEASE SAVEPOIN ..." query below causes a SEGFAULT in
0x00007fffe8a6ccfa in tr_merge_dbat (tr=0x7fffcc10c760, tdb=0x0)
at /net/toulouse/export/scratch2/zhang/monet-source/Jun2016/sql/storage/bat/bat_storage.c:2089
2089 if (tdb->cached) {

CREATE TABLE test (a int);
START TRANSACTION ;
SAVEPOINT failsafe;
ALTER TABLE test ADD COLUMN b int;
RELEASE SAVEPOINT failsafe;
COMMIT;

The crash seems to have been particularly caused by the use of ALTER TABLE, since it doesn't happen after, e.g., an "INSERT INTO test...".

Just for the records, next to ALTER TABLE, an UPDATE causes mserver5 to crash at the same place. For instance, these queries:

drop table t;
create table t (i int, j int);
insert into t values (10, 20);
start transaction;
savepoint sp;
UPDATE t set i = 42 where j = 20;
release savepoint sp;
commit;
select * from t;
