Crash when setting variable to null

[blalor]

The following caused a segfault:

{
  "query": "set global audit_record_cmds = null",
  "cmd": "set_option",
  "msg-type": "activity",
  "date": "1452104698186",
  "thread-id": "72309112",
  "query-id": "1022222598",
  "user": "superuser",
  "priv_user": "superuser",
  "host": "localhost",
  "ip": ""
}

Error log:

18:24:58 UTC - mysqld got signal 11 ;
This could be because you hit a bug. It is also possible that this binary
or one of the libraries it was linked against is corrupt, improperly built,
or misconfigured. This error can also be caused by malfunctioning hardware.
We will try our best to scrape up some info that will hopefully help
diagnose the problem, but since we have already crashed, 
something is definitely wrong and this may fail.

key_buffer_size=2147483648
read_buffer_size=131072
max_used_connections=415
max_threads=2000
thread_count=9
connection_count=8
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 10572558 K  bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Thanks for the report. We will work on this.

The current code base (just pushed to github) has a fix for this issue. Thanks for reporting it.
