Hit send too soon!

By the way, the bug seems to be exposed only with a certain pattern/sequence
of workers being detached (perhaps in immediate successive) whereby the
funnel->nextqueue remains incorrectly set.

The patch attached this time.

By the way, when I have asserts enabled, I hit this compilation error:

createplan.c: In function ‘create_partialseqscan_plan’:
createplan.c:1180: error: ‘Path’ has no member named ‘path’

I see following line there:

Assert(best_path->path.parent->rtekind == RTE_RELATION);

Thanks,
