Well, then that makes both you and me(both) stumped. because the 2
queries are exactly the same except for the data part.

Index Cond: ((audit_key_dtime >= $0) AND (audit_key_dtime < $1))

Index Cond: ((audit_key_dtime >= '2007-08-08 18:00:00'::timestamp without time zone)
AND (audit_key_dtime < '2007-08-08 18:01:00'::timestamp without time zone))

This is _the_ only difference between the 2 queries where on one, the
dates are provided, and the other is selected from a table.

I have no idea why the plans are so different between the two.
