Hmm, actually it seems to be producingvar int24eq int4constant
My first thought on seeing this was that int24eq didn't have an entry
in pg_amop, but it does.  So why doesn't the system realize it can use
an index scan?  This might be a relatively simple bug to fix after all,
but it needs more time to find exactly where things are going wrong...
and I have to get some Real Work done...
