Please enter a FULL description of your problem:
------------------------------------------------
Selects on tables with cidr type primary keys are broken.
Please describe a way to repeat the problem. Please try to provide a
concise reproducible example, if at all possible:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Behold:
<quote>
test=# \d jobschedule
Table "jobschedule"
Attribute | Type | Modifier
-----------+---------+----------
prefix | cidr | not null
interval | integer |
Index: jobschedule_pkey
test=# select * from jobschedule;
prefix | interval
----------------+----------
132.229.230/24 | 2592000
132.229.231/24 | 2592000
132.229.232/24 | 2592000
132.229.12/24 | 2592000
132.229.50/24 | 2592000
132.229.52/24 | 2592000
132.229.93/24 | 2592000
132.229.95/24 | 2592000
(8 rows)
test=# explain select * from jobschedule where prefix='132.229.230/24';
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:
Index Scan using jobschedule_pkey on jobschedule (cost=0.00..8.14 rows=10 width=16)
EXPLAIN
test=# select * from jobschedule where prefix='132.229.230/24';
prefix | interval
--------+----------
(0 rows)
</quote>
If I recreate the table without prefix being a primary key, the selects
are planned as sequential scans and magically start working again.
If you know how this problem might be fixed, list the solution below:

Eeeh.. not really. I haven't really had time yet to delve into the
PostgreSQL codebase.... :(
