No, in sql_show.cc. When the error happened in that function, the
expectation was that there was my_error() with the error message.
But handler::info() only returns an error code. This is my fix:

The assert means that some code didn't issue an error as it was expected
to. Or that some code issued an error and it was later ignored and
mariadb tried to report a success for a failed statement.

This can, indeed, occur for many reasons, that's why this assert fails
often.
