Build Identifier:

I am now running Sqlitelogictest queries that are exclusive to some database systems. This query is supposed to run only on MySQL. In MonetDB I guess we are are supposed to get a compilation error or an empty result set instead of a crash.

The original query for the other database systems including MonetDB was:
SELECT col0 + - - CAST ( NULL AS REAL ) - + col0 + + col1 FROM tab1 cor0 WHERE ( NULL ) IS NOT NULL

In the MySQL version the cast is made to a DECIMAL instead of a REAL, because I guess MySQL does not support the REAL type. However I think that the MySQL version should also run in MonetDB, by casting the col0 column into a decimal.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. CREATE TABLE tab1(col0 INTEGER, col1 INTEGER, col2 INTEGER);
2. SELECT col0 + - - CAST( NULL AS DECIMAL ) - + col0 + + col1 FROM tab1 cor0 WHERE ( NULL ) IS NOT NULL;

Actual Results:

A SIGSEGV is received in a exp_is_atom call.

Expected Results:

An empty result set.

The SIGSEV:

Thread 6 "mserver5" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I added the test in this commit https://dev.monetdb.org/hg/MonetDB/rev/6d5c21f423bd Sorry I misspelled the Bug number with 64455 instead of 6445.
