I can see that this has already been committed as 9f71e10d65, but are
you sure that this is correct? I didn't take the time to reply back,
because I got the feeling that even what I proposed is not correct.
The previous code was careful enough to look at the information from
info2 only *through* the attribute map, which is not what this new
code is doing. Rather than looking directly at the elements in info2
at each iteration, shouldn't this stuff loop over the elements in
attmap->attnums for each info1->ii_IndexAttrNumbers[i]?
