Hi,
There might be a bug in mysql 4 (tested on 4.0.8-gamma and 4.0.9-gamma) when
combining simple arithmetic operations and date conversion

I have a table with the following structure
date_col date 0000-00-00
int_col tinyint(3) unsigned

This is what happens when I try to run a query like the one below.

mysql> select to_days(Now())-to_days(data_col)-int_col
from table_name where to_days(Now())-to_days(data_col)<int_col;

+-----------------------------------+
| to_days(Now())-to_days(date_col)-int_col |
+-----------------------------------+

|              18446744073709551615 |


Tested on Linux Redhat 7.3 and on a Slackware 7.0.0

TIA
