A crash in MonetDB v11.49.7 (Dec2023-SP2) occurs when executing the `GET_MERGE_TABLE_PARTITION_EXPRESSIONS` function with invalid parameters, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS). The backtrace indicates that the crash is related to binding columns, which suggests a potential vulnerability in input validation for this function.
