Yes, I've switched to a clean master and only applied this patch. If I 
put the the break, the query works, so it's fine as well.

BTW: I just had a discussion if it would make sense, to recreate my test 
table with a different order, as a b-tree is always dependent on 
insertion order. But as the b-tree index is newly created in memory 
after each restart, two different insertion orders (same values) would 
give me the same b-tree at least after a restart, right?
