MySQL Error 137 when adding htmlstate field to post table

I can't seem to upgrade from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3, reason being that the upgrade script chokes out on adding that field to the post table. I can't even do it in myphpadmin using what looks to me like proper syntax. It keeps coming back with that error 137.

I've seen that others have had this issue, but I can't find a fix for it anywhere online.

Please help?

What syntax are you using? If it's just one field, I usually just add it to the table instead of running a query to add it. Is that what you are doing?

It is the exact same error as this other guy here:

Upgrading shouldn''t remove columns from the db. I have seen such occurances a lot lately here and at vb.com. Maybe you should start a ticket at the member area so the vb staff can look into this if it is some bug.

I tried that as well. For some reason my post table just doesn't want to comply.

That's what I was afraid of. My backups aren't even restoring properly. I might have a major problem on my hands here. I can't see any posts in my forums. I know they're there somewhere, since I can still see them in the database. I'm just hoping I can fix this without losing all of our data. We've been up for almost 4 years, with over 100,000 threads.

I did see one person who claims to have fixed this issue, but I'm afraid I made it worse by trying to restore unsuccessfully.

It is very much fixable. That is not the problem. What I find odd is that it occurs in the first place.
