rules problem - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi, I have strange problem with rules. It looks like when multiple rows
are affected, the rule is executed only for the first row.
Is this expected behaviour? Please someone hit me with a cluebat :)

Please try the attached two tests to see what I mean.
The tests are for pgsql-7.2 if you want to try them on 7.3 after
DROP TABLE xxx add CASCADE, and remove DROP RULE xxx lines.

Here's what I see:

*** First test ***
DROP
CREATE
DROP
CREATE
ERROR:  Rule or view "add_to_data" not found
CREATE
ERROR:  Rule or view "del_from_data" not found
CREATE
INSERT 357883308 1
INSERT 357883309 1
INSERT 357883310 1
INSERT 357883311 1
INSERT 357883312 1
 id | data_counters |           expected
----+---------------+------------------------------
  1 |             4 | data_counters should be == 4
(1 row)

DELETE 4
 id | data_counters |              expected
----+---------------+------------------------------------
  1 |             3 | data_counters should be == 0 NOT 3
(1 row)


*** Second test ***
