The following bug has been logged online:

Bug reference:      3882
Logged by:          Jan Mate

PostgreSQL version: 8.2.6
Operating system:   Linux and Mac OS X
Description:        unexpected PARAM_SUBLINK ID
Details:

I am trying to create a row versioning table using view and rules.

The problem occur when I try to insert a new row to view using:

INSERT INTO "table" (number, level) VALUES(1, 1);

I get the following error:
ERROR:  unexpected PARAM_SUBLINK ID: 3

BUT, the same INSERT RULE (see the dump below) works fine when I delete the
"limited" column from the table (and view) and modify the rules on the
view:

Dump of my DB is:
