Attached please find new version of the patch with
AddMultiColumnStatisticsForQual parameter type fix and one more fix
related with handling synthetic attributes.
I can not reproduce the crash on TPC-H queries, so if the problem

information helping to understand the reason of SIGSEGV?

Thanks in advance,
Konstantin
