      Description

      Reproduce by calling a mysql_thread_end followed by mysql->methods->free_embedded_thd()

      The call sequence is illegal and expected outcome would be an error or some indication of error.

      The location of problematic code :

      mysys_var=my_thread_var;
      /*
        Let mysqld define the thread id (not mysys)
        This allows us to move THD to different threads if needed.
      */
      mysys_var->id= thread_id;
      real_id= pthread_self();                      // For debugging
      mysys_var->stack_ends_here= thread_stack +    // for consistency, see libevent_thread_proc
                                    STACK_DIRECTION * (long)my_thread_stack_size;
      

      where mysys_var is NULL.

      Valgrind:

            I guess the function is not very often called directly from client application.
