Does the machine run out of disk space every time? Is it possible to try
the query on a different machine with more hard drive room? An explain
analyze of the slow plan will be much more helpful than an explain, even if
its from a different machine. If its generating a large temp file, it is
another sign that the query is doing some kind of large cross product.
