Subquery with FULLTEXT filtering interrupts MYSQL connection

0

Im trying to get the 10 best matches of a fulltext search using fulltext score.

Following query works perfectly on my 10M lines MyISAM table :

SELECT 

    index,
    MATCH(villes) AGAINST('montreuil') as score
FROM 
    (

        SELECT index, villes
        FROM table
        WHERE MATCH(villes) AGAINST('montreuil' IN BOOLEAN MODE) 

    ) t

However, when I get an error when trying to retrieve to order scores :

SELECT index 

FROM (

       *** PREVIOUS QUERY ***

) t2

ORDER BY t2.score

Error is : "Lost connection to mysql server" in mysql workbench after 4 seconds.

So far I've tried:

  • using phpmyadmin => same error
  • removing the "order by" => same error
  • extending the mysql buffer memory => same error
  • limiting the number of the subquery results to 10 (using "limit 10") => weird error "cannot find a fulltext index"

The mysql log is unclear to me :

10:10:58 UTC - mysqld got exception 0xc00000fd ;
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.
Attempting to collect some information that could help diagnose the problem.
As this is a crash and something is definitely wrong, the information
collection process might fail.

key_buffer_size=67108864
read_buffer_size=8388608
max_used_connections=3
max_threads=151
thread_count=2
connection_count=2
It is possible that mysqld could use up to 
key_buffer_size + (read_buffer_size + sort_buffer_size)*max_threads = 2541349 K  bytes of memory
Hope that's ok; if not, decrease some variables in the equation.

Attempting backtrace. You can use the following information to find out
where mysqld died. If you see no messages after this, something went
terribly wrong...

EDIT

SHOW CREATE TABLE :

'CREATE TABLE `table` (
  `index` int(11) NOT NULL,
  `villes` text,
  PRIMARY KEY (`index`),
  FULLTEXT KEY `villes` (`villes`)
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8'

EXPLAIN :

I couldnt find a direct solution to this problem. I read some posts explaining that sorting a subquery using fulltext might cause some memory issues.

However a workaround was to create a temporary table with the result of the subquery and sort it which works perfectly.
