tgl=> select * from x where not (i is null and c is null);
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.

So, let's try rewriting it as a workaround:

tgl=> select * from x where (not i is null) or (not c is null);
pqReadData() -- backend closed the channel unexpectedly.

Oops. For some reason the NOT/AND is fatal, while NOT/OR is OK. That's
not so good. The good news is that it will certainly be repairable with
patches.
