Description:
The RQG test grammar repeatable_read.yy started failing after the patch for Bug#13807811 (btr_pcur_restore_position() can skip a record) was merged into MySQL 5.5.23. The test is designed to test the REPEATABLE READ isolation level by re-executing SELECT using various table access methods within the same transaction.

Sample output from failure:

# 2012-05-08T18:20:36 Query: SELECT `col_int` FROM `table10_innodb_int_autoinc` WHERE `pk` > 8 returns different result when executed with additional predicate '/* no additional predicate */' (18 vs. 17 rows).

How to repeat:
export RQG_HOME=~/randgen/ MASTER_MYPORT=3306

perl $RQG_HOME/gentest.pl \
 --dsn=dbi:mysql:host=127.0.0.1:port=$MASTER_MYPORT:user=root:database=test \
 --gendata=$RQG_HOME/conf/transactions/transactions.zz \

Thank you for the report.

Verified as described.

Fixed by patch for Bug#14399148 - InnoDB tables under load produce duplicate copies of rows in queries.

Davi, thanks for verifying the fix. Again, I am sorry for breaking the code.
