Don, I believe I found the bug.
" MySQL/InnoDB-4.0.17, December xx, 2003 * Fixed a bug: if you created a column prefix secondary index and updated it so that the last characters in the column prefix were spaces, InnoDB would assert in row0upd.c, line 713. The same assertion failed if you updated a column in an ordinary secondary index so that the new value was alphabetically equivalent, but had a different length. This could happen, for example, in the utf-8 character set if you updated a letter to its accented or umlaut form. " This also explains the assertion reported by Bruce Dembecki with a column prefix index. This fixes also a bug reported by someone about updating utf-8 accent characters, I do not remember who made that bug report. Please test with 4.0.17 when it comes out.
