sort key could go over 4GB making sort length to wrap around. let's limit sort key length by 2GB - still ridiculously unrealistically large but far enough from 4GB so that any additions in the code below would still be safe. The error is somewhat confusing, but, again, only someone who pushes the margins to exploit memory bugs will ever see it. Additionally min_sort_memory calculations are done as uint and can wrap around too, allocating later over 4GB memory not constrained by @@sort_buffer_size

MariaDB: The innovative open source database
MariaDB was designed as a drop-in replacement of MySQL(R) with more features, new storage engines, fewer bugs, and better performance.
MariaDB is brought to you by the MariaDB Foundation and the MariaDB Corporation. Please read the CREDITS file for details about the MariaDB Foundation, and who is developing MariaDB.
MariaDB is developed by many of the original developers of MySQL who now work for the MariaDB Corporation, the MariaDB Foundation and by many people in the community.
MySQL, which is the base of MariaDB, is a product and trademark of Oracle Corporation, Inc. For a list of developers and other contributors, see the Credits appendix. You can also run 'SHOW authors' to get a list of active contributors.
