I was able to solve this by running on the buildbot machines, so I won't have to push this debugging patch to main trees, which is good.
The root cause of these failures is MDEV-31655,
My congrats on and thanks to MDEV-28776 has been unriddled, by you.
https://jira.mariadb.org/browse/MDEV-31655. Sad that this serious bug was actually visible as test failures in the CI for years without being fixed. What can we do to improve this in the future?
It's a complicated matter. MDEV-28776 was not really neglected. There's always a priority list of what we - the "corporate" folks - are to be busy with. Also to recognize the seriousness of that bug may take not just unordinary skills (which we may rely on much more than before :-) :pray:). I'd take this on the chin. Needless to say it'd be perfect to catch this sort of bugs by mtr tests at the removal time which speaks of self-protected features. Cheers, Andrei
