FYI - no reports upstream. No code changes in this function. No similar mariadb bug.

reported upstream: https://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=85661

Hi,
while trying to clean up old bugs I've found this one. There never was enough insight to action on it - nor were there bugs similar enough to map and combine the information with this one here.
Also the upstream discussion (thanks Daniel btw!) did end up unresolved for a lack of information.

Right now without more data all I can do is marking this case incomplete as it isn't actionable as-is :-/
