+# Bug #15205   Select from CSV table without the datafile causes crash
+#
+# NOTE: the bug is not deterministic
+
+# The crash happens because the necessary cleanup after an error wasn't
+# performed. Namely, the table share, inserted in the hash during table
+# open, was not deleted from hash. At the same time the share was freed
+# when an error was encountered. Thus, subsequent access to the hash
+# resulted in scanning through deleted memory and we were geting a crash.
+# that's why we need two tables in the bugtest
