    Description

      I'm seeing errors when trying to use the async connect API. When calling mysql_real_connect_cont I hit an error in mysql_real_connect, when performing the error handling we free the stack being currently used for execution. Using tcmalloc's debug allocator the stack immediately becomes corrupted and the process segfaults. Using the non async API the connection succeeds, so there could be another issue leading to the original error handling. Inside mysql_real_connect_cont we hit the following goto error.

        if ((pkt_length=net_safe_read(mysql)) == packet_error)
        {
          if (mysql->net.last_errno == CR_SERVER_LOST)
            my_set_error(mysql, CR_SERVER_LOST, SQLSTATE_UNKNOWN,
                       ER(CR_SERVER_LOST_EXTENDED),
                       "handshake: reading inital communication packet",
                       errno);
       
          goto error;
        }
      

      Backtrace for deleting current stack:
