Locking a table and disabling the indexes hangs mysql - 100% CPU CREATE TABLE `runs` (
  `RunID` int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (`RunID`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

--
-- Dumping data for table `runs`
--
-- WHERE:  runid=430864838

LOCK TABLES `runs` WRITE;
ALTER TABLE `runs` DISABLE KEYS;
INSERT INTO `runs` VALUES (430864838);


As soon as ALTER TABLE `runs` DISABLE KEYS; runs it seems to hang the database - a core is 100% being used and it will not respond.  

What is the cause of this behavior?
I switched over to Mariadb and successfully ran the query.
