Standard Postgres contains neither any nvl() function nor a four-argument
version of decode().  A theory worth considering therefore is that this
is a bug in whatever extension is providing those functions.  If, as I
suspect, you're running EDB's version of Postgres, you would be well
advised to turn to them for support.
