I've seen this when MySQL uses an internal table for temporary data.
There is a limit on the size of these tables. You can force MySQL to
use a file in its temporary directory to store the results:

        set SQL_BIG_TABLES = 1; 

An alternative is to do a SELECT SQL_BIG_RESULT ... instead of
SELECT ... . Note that SELECT SQL_BIG_RESULT doesn't work in 3.22.x,
though it is accepted by the parser. You don't mention which version
you use. 'set SQL_BIG_TABLES' works fine in 3.22.x.
