Hi James,
Thanks for working on this, I haven't tried the latest patch but the
previous single patch worked fine in the cases you and Tomas found and
with my original example.
I haven't been able to reproduce the same problem with other queries
(I tried RLS and views with barriers, i also wanted to test with LEAK
functions but didn't have the time yet).
Can you please create an entry in the commitfest for this one so we
don't lose track of it?
