Michael, this Python test script drops core:
import wiredtiger, wttest class test_f(wttest.WiredTigerTestCase): # This test drops core. def test_f(self): uri = "table:xxx" self.session.create(uri, 'key_format=i,value_format=SiSS,' + 'columns=(record,column2,column3,column4,column5),' + 'colgroups=(cgroup1,cgroup2,cgroup3,cgroup4,cgroup5,cgroup6)') self.session.truncate(uri, None, None, None) self.session.drop(uri, None) if __name__ == '__main__': wttest.run()
The problem is in dropping a table from the schema file: the number of groups in a table is set to 6, but the list of group names isn't filled in (I'm guessing, but have not checked, the names would be filled in by the corresponding session.create calls for the groups).

Keeping WT_COLGROUPS in sync with the actual list might end up being hard – perhaps it would be better to have an inline function that counts through the list each time, looking for the trailing NULL? Or even get rid of WT_COLGROUPS entirely and operate on the list of pointers in all cases? Or maybe ncolgroups shouldn't be set until the names are filled in?
Anyway, I don't want to hack this without some input from you, please fix this, or let me know what changes you'd prefer.
