If a table contains a field that is comparable in size to the value for join_cache_level, certain joins cause the following assertion:

mysqld: sql_select.cc:14041: int join_read_key2(THD*, JOIN_TAB*, TABLE*, TABLE_REF*): Assertion `table_ref->has_record' failed.

This happens in maria-5.3 where the fixes for all other "table_ref->has_record" bugs appear to be present.
