    Description

      Running myisamchk -V aborts when it's freeing memory. This seems to be easily reproducible with all environment it tried (debian:stable and fedora:42).

      Just untar mariadb-11.4.8-linux-systemd-x86_64.tar.gz and run:

      root@aa067c4b5730:/work# ./mariadb-11.4.8-linux-systemd-x86_64/bin/myisamchk -V
      ./mariadb-11.4.8-linux-systemd-x86_64/bin/myisamchk from 11.4.8-MariaDB, client 2.7 for linux-systemd (x86_64)
      double free or corruption (!prev)
      Aborted (core dumped)
      

      Backtrace:
