If this is meant as a bug report, it is entirely useless. Please give a
complete, standalone example that someone else can run to reproduce the
problem. You can't expect us to guess our way to all the context
involved in this query.

The bug reporting guidelines in the User's Guide
http://www.ca.postgresql.org/users-lounge/docs/7.3/postgres/bug-reporting.html
are a tad verbose but are worth reading.
