Wrong result with LooseScan , multipart keys

[Philip Stoev]

The following query:

SELECT * FROM t1
WHERE a IN (
        SELECT t2.a
        FROM t2 , t3
        WHERE t2.b = t3.b
);

returns

5
5

when executed with loosescan=on, even though t1 contains only one row where a = 5 .

EXPLAIN:

id select_type table type possible_keys key key_len ref rows Extra
1 PRIMARY t2 index b b 9 NULL 2 Using where; Using index; LooseScan
1 PRIMARY t3 ref b b 4 test.t2.b 1 Using index; FirstMatch(t2)
1 PRIMARY t1 ALL NULL NULL NULL NULL 4 Using where; Using join buffer (flat, BNL join)

minimal switch: semijoin=on,loosescan=on
