I recompiled with >= and restarted mysqld with concurrent inserts.
My original problem hasn't happened since then after a bit of
testing.

It does seem that merge tables will not be the only tables affected.
Probably the following query would show similar symptoms:

select indexfield, tablefield from myisamtable
 where indexfield >= 990 order by indexfield desc

That is, if I'm correct that it would use the index going backwards
and reading each record from the table as well.

Glad I could help a bit. Will the fix be in 3.23.34 ?

Thanks for your fast support and a wonderful product.

Fred.
