This bug was fixed and closed several weeks ago. I guess because it only affected win32 it isn't considered a real bug because it was never listed in the documentation that it was fixed.
Yes you are right Win32 5.0.2 is completely unuseable. If it was a *nix build we would have had a 5.0.2x a long time ago. Bug #6955 SHOW PROCEDURE STATUS crashes the server Bugs fixed: a.. Fixed a bug which caused server crash if some error occurred during filling of temporary table created for derived table or view handling. (Bug #7413) b.. Fixed a bug which caused server crash if query containing CONVERT_TZ() function with constant arguments was prepared. (Bug #6849) c.. Prevent adding CREATE TABLE .. SELECT query to the binary log when the insertion of new records partially failed. (Bug #6682) d.. Fixed a bug which caused a crash when only the slave I/O thread was stopped and started. (Bug #6148) e.. Giving mysqld a SIGHUP caused it to crash. f.. Changed semantics of CREATE/ALTER/DROP DATABASE statements so that replication of CREATE DATABASE is possible when using --binlog-do-db and --binlog-ignore-db. (Bug #6391) g.. A sequence of BEGIN (or SET AUTOCOMMIT=0), FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK, transactional update, COMMIT, FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK could hang the connection forever and possibly the MySQL server itself. This happened for example when running the innobackup script several times. (Bug #6732) h.. mysqlbinlog did not print SET PSEUDO_THREAD_ID statements in front of LOAD DATA INFILE statements inserting into temporary tables, thus causing potential problems when rolling forward these statements after restoring a backup. (Bug #6671) i.. InnoDB: Fixed a bug no error message for ALTER with InnoDB and AUTO_INCREMENT (Bug #7061). InnoDB now supports ALTER TABLE...AUTO_INCREMENT = x query to set auto increment value for a table. j.. Made the MySQL server accept executing SHOW CREATE DATABASE even if the connection has an open transaction or locked tables; refusing it made mysqldump --single-transaction sometimes fail to print a complete CREATE DATABASE statement for some dumped databases.
