--- Comment #4 from MMacD <scratch65535 at att.net> ---
I shouldn't have closed this, because there *is* a problem. Either the software
is broken or the docs are, since mysqli_store_result doesn't even work on a toy
dataset.  

My interest was only because, being confused by the poorly-written docs, I
thought that a successful store_result call was now required in order to use
data_seek.  But it's not, and so I lost interest and closed this bug report. 
But there really is some kind of bug, so I should have left it open even though
it doesn't seem to affect my project.

Unfortunately, I've no clue about where the bug is located because the mysqli
API is not well-reflected in SQL.  There's no equivalent of store_result in the
SQL that I can see, so I couldn't test to narrow it down.  So it could be in
MySQL and thus MariaDB, or the result of some change to MariaDB that's not in
MySQL, or in the mysqli API, or only the PHP port of the API, or even just in
the documentation.  Sorry for not being able to be more clear.
