7.4 Beta1: variable not found in subplan target lists - Mailing list pgsql-hackers

Hey again,

Received this error:

Aug  6 16:24:55 thunder postgres[7835]: [11-1] ERROR:  variable not
found in subplan target lists 

during this query:
  $dbh->do( qq/
DELETE FROM temp_obs_v
WHERE file_id IN  (SELECT file_id   FROM temp_obs_v NATURAL JOIN files   WHERE  group_id = $group_id      AND pair_id
=$pair_id) /);
 

on the 15th iteration (the previous 14 worked fine).

It is repeatable.  Something stupid again (other than the duplicate
indexes)?
