This query is taking much longer on 9.1 than it did on 8.4.  Why is it
using a seq scan?

=> explain verbose SELECT status,EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM eventlog e WHERE
e.uid = ml.uid AND e.jobid = ml.jobid AND type = 4),EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM
eventlog e WHERE e.uid = ml.uid AND e.jobid = ml.jobid AND type = 1)
FROM maillog ml WHERE jobid IN(1132730);
                                                      QUERY PLAN

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Index Scan using maillog_jobid_status_key on public.maillog ml
(cost=0.00..120373618.25 rows=338943 width=10)
   Output: ml.status, (alternatives: SubPlan 1 or hashed SubPlan 2),
(SubPlan 3)
   Index Cond: (ml.jobid = 1132730)
   SubPlan 1
     ->  Index Scan using eventlog_uid_and_jobid_and_type_key on
public.eventlog e  (cost=0.00..176.66 rows=1 width=0)
           Index Cond: ((e.uid = ml.uid) AND (e.jobid = ml.jobid) AND
(e.type = 4))
   SubPlan 2
     ->  Seq Scan on public.eventlog e  (cost=0.00..32897949.27
rows=17535360 width=8)
           Output: e.uid, e.jobid
           Filter: (e.type = 4)
   SubPlan 3
