Why did you change both the target columns *and* the query qualification
between these two examples? Is the "SELECT d.*" required to get the
query to fail?? If not, then...
For some reason sh.distr_id is not equal to d.distr_id. Are they
different data types? Do they have some embedded blanks?? Probably not a
Postgres bug, since the query itself looks pretty simple...
