When building different range and index-merge trees the range optimizer
could build an index-merge tree with an index scan containing less ranges
then needed. This index-merge could be chosen as the best. Following this
index-merge the executioner missed some rows in the result set.
The invalid index scan was built due to an inconsistency in the code
back-ported from mysql into 5.3 that fixed mysql bug #11765831:
the code added to key_or() could change shared keys of the second
ored tree. Partially the problem was fixed in the patch for mariadb
bug #823301, but it turned out that only partially.
