There's an in-memory stress test failure I've seen lately:
t, eviction-server: cache eviction server error: WT_RESTART: restart the operation (internal)
I thought for awhile it was the same as WT-2576 (it's another heavily-threaded, in-memory variable-length column-store failure), but I've seen it after that fix was merged.
It may be related: in short, when rewriting pages in-memory if the page is corrupted, we can fail to insert saved-update records because our "is there a race tests" in serial.i fail, returning WT_RESTART. Of course, there should never be a race when rewriting pages in-memory because we have exclusive access to the page.
Here's the CONFIG from a recent PPC stress test failure:
