Analysis: There are two code paths through which JOIN::exec may produce an all-NULL row for an empty result set. One goes via the function return_zero_rows(), when query processing detectes early that the where clause is false, the other one is via do_select() in the case of join execution. In the case of do_select(), the problem was that the executioner didn't set TABLE::null_row to 1. As result when sending the only result row, the evaluation of each field didn't detect that all non-aggregated fields are NULL, because Field::is_null returned true, after checking that field->table->null_row was false. Given that the each non-aggregated field was not considered NULL, select_result::send_data sent whatever was in the buffer of each field. However, since there was no actual data in the field buffer, send_data() accessed and sent whatever junk was in the field's data buffer. Solution: Similar to the analogous case in return_zero_rows() mark all tables that their current row is NULL before sending the artificailly created NULL row.
