The major reason why I did not find the bug earlier ist that the reverse
engineered SQL for TABLE-returning functions was broken up until 1.10.2
(ticket  #159). Therefore I avoided this notation and substituted the
(for SET-returning functions) inferior OUT-Parameter notation. Now, that
the SQL is fixed, I started to make use of the RETURNS TABLE() notation
and the problem popped up. I expect more people to run into this now.

If we decide not to got for 1.10.4 maybe we should add a "known bugs"
disclaimer on the webside?
