Thanks! Before and after applying the changes on REL_14_STABLE, I executed the script (with numclients = 50) four times, respectively.
Unfortunately, I wasn't able to replicate the issue you mentioned.

Got it! I concur with your statement. OTOH, there is no evidence to indicate that the issue is a result of
v1-0002-Fix-Coredump-On-AssertTXNLsnOrder.patch.

Oops, I forgot to mention this information in the email. Indeed, the test I provided couldn't reproduce the issue before fixing bug #18280
While I haven't tested it, I belive that we can get another reproducing test with a little more complexity (such as needing two transactions
in sequence).

Indeed.

Back to the issue in this thread, are there any suggestions or discussion on the fix patch?
