    Description

      This query crashes the server:

      SELECT ExtractValue('<a><b>abc</b><c>2</c><d>1</d></a>','substring(/a/b,..)');

      Notice '..' in the 'position' argument to XPath substring() function,
      which obviously goes above the root XML element.

      If I change the position argument to something inside the XML tree,
      it works fine:

      mysql> SELECT ExtractValue('<a><b>abc</b><c>2</c><d>1</d></a>','substring(/a/b,/a/c)');
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | ExtractValue('<a><b>abc</b><c>2</c><d>1</d></a>','substring(/a/b,/a/c)') |
      +--------------------------------------------------------------------------+
      | bc                                                                       |
