    Description

      This bug can be reproduced with the following test case:

      CREATE TABLE t1(f0 int auto_increment primary key, f1 int, f2 varchar(200));
      INSERT INTO t1(f1, f2) VALUES
      (0,"0"),(1,"1"),(2,"2"),(3,"3"),(4,"4"),(5,"5"),
      (6,"6"),(7,"7"),(8,"8"),(9,"9"),(10,"10"),
      (11,"11"),(12,"12"),(13,"13"),(14,"14"),(15,"15"),
      (16,"16"),(17,"17"),(18,"18"),(19,"19"),(20,"20"),
      (21,"21"),(22,"22"),(23,"23"),(24,"24"),(25,"25"),
      (26,"26"),(27,"27"),(28,"28"),(29,"29"),(30,"30"),
      (31,"31"),(32,"32"),(33,"33"),(34,"34"),(35,"35"),
      (36,"36"),(37,"37"),(38,"38"),(39,"39"),(40,"40"),
      (41,"41"),(42,"42"),(43,"43"),(44,"44"),(45,"45"),
      (46,"46"),(47,"47"),(48,"48"),(49,"49"),(50,"50"),
      (51,"51"),(52,"52"),(53,"53"),(54,"54"),(55,"55"),
      (56,"56"),(57,"57"),(58,"58"),(59,"59"),(60,"60"),
      (61,"61"),(62,"62"),(63,"63"),(64,"64"),(65,"65"),
      (66,"66"),(67,"67"),(68,"68"),(69,"69"),(70,"70"),
      (71,"71"),(72,"72"),(73,"73"),(74,"74"),(75,"75"),
      (76,"76"),(77,"77"),(78,"78"),(79,"79"),(80,"80"),
      (81,"81"),(82,"82"),(83,"83"),(84,"84"),(85,"85"),
      (86,"86"),(87,"87"),(88,"88"),(89,"89"),(90,"90"),
      (91,"91"),(92,"92"),(93,"93"),(94,"94"),(95,"95"),
      (96,"96"),(97,"97"),(98,"98"),(99,"99");
      set session sort_buffer_size= 2000;
      SELECT * FROM t1 ORDER BY f1 ASC, f0;

      An execution of this test case leads to a failure of the assertion
      DBUG_ASSERT(maxcount!=0) from the function merge_buffers in any debug version of 5.3/5.5.
      In non-debug versions it causes a crash of the server.
