Simple JOIN problem

I run on PostgreSQL 8.3, default settings (also tried to change
random_page_cost close to 1).
What need I change to make the second query run as fast as the first?
Set enable_hashjoin to off solves this problem, but it's not the way I
can use.
Statistics for all columns is on the level 1000.
