Description:
Creating a temporary table, filling it with insert, at least 2 rows.  At first CHECK reports OK.  But after simply reading the table, CHECK reports warnings and/or errors.

From a 2x1 table:

   Size of datafile is: 21 Should be: 14
   Found 7 deleted space. Should be 0
   Found 1 deleted blocks Should be: 0
   Found 3 parts Should be: 2 parts 

From a 3x3 table:

   Size of datafile is: 46 Should be: 39
   got error: 137 when reading datafile at record: 3

I found this tracking a different symptom, which might appear much later in processing with the table:

   PHP Warning:  mysql_query(): Unable to save result set

This error has been associated (google) with corrupt tables.

How to repeat:
CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE t (i INT);
INSERT INTO t SET i=1;
INSERT INTO t SET i=2;
CHECK TABLE t;
SELECT * FROM t;
CHECK TABLE t;

CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE tx (i INT, j INT, k INT);
INSERT INTO tx SET i=11, j=22, k=33;
INSERT INTO tx SET i=44, j=55, k=66;
INSERT INTO tx SET i=77, j=88, k=99;
CHECK TABLE tx;
SELECT * FROM tx;
CHECK TABLE tx;

Thank you for a bug report. Verified just as described with latest 5.2.3-falcon-alpha on Windows XP SP2. Bug is repeatable if MyISAM is used as a storage engine for these temporary tables.

  BUG#26325 - TEMPORARY TABLE "corrupt" after first read, according
              to CHECK TABLE
  
  CHECK/REPAIR TABLE reports "File not found" error when issued
  against temporary table.
  
  Fixed by disabling a brunch of code (in case it gets temporary table)
  that is responsible for updating frm version as it is not needed
  for temporary tables.

Noted in 5.0.48, 5.1.21 changelog.

After the first read of a TEMPORARY table, CHECK TABLE could report
the table as being corrupt.
