Is your original output indeed correct, in particular the double "| id9 | Test 9 | 9 |" record (the second occurrence of which seem to be corrupted after the restart)?

Can you share the content of your monetdbd / merovingian log file that is related to stopping and restarting the server after the bulk load?

After loading the data and restarting the server, I get an assertion error:
mserver5: monetdb5/modules/atoms/str.c:1357: strLength: Assertion `l <2147483647' failed.
I'll investigate a bit more.

Changeset 83ada82a21d8 made by Sjoerd Mullender sjoerd@acm.org in the MonetDB repo, refers to this bug.

For complete details, see http//devmonetdborg/hg/MonetDB?cmd=changeset;node=83ada82a21d8

Changeset description:

Off-by-one error: don't extend if file already correct size.
This fixes bug #3282.
Extending a file is done by seeking to the desired size and writing a
byte.  In the case encountered here, the file was already the correct
size, but a byte was written anyway, overwriting the last byte in the
file and thereby corrupting the data.
