Error Message not displayed correctly in some clients

Hello,

When using a model with too many CTEs, I get the error

Code: 4003 SQL State: HY000 — Too many WITH elements in WITH clause

when doing an explain but the python client/driver (MySQLdb) I am using does not display it and it displayed an cryptic error (''error totally whack').

A deeper source code analysis shows that the python code expects an error code to be below CR_MAX_ERROR which is defined by mariadb as ,

../server/include/errmsg.h:#define CR_MAX_ERROR 2999

Did this number increase without being updated ? it is no longer used in mariadb-server but still by some clients (to my knowledge : mysqladmin and python)

Regards,

Antoine
