Please look at an assertion failure (reproduced starting from 5bf748b86),
triggered by the following query:
CREATE TABLE t (a int, b int);
CREATE INDEX t_idx ON t (a, b);
INSERT INTO t (a, b) SELECT g, g FROM generate_series(0, 999) g;
ANALYZE t;
SELECT * FROM t WHERE a < ANY (ARRAY[1]) AND b < ANY (ARRAY[1]);

TRAP: failed Assert("so->numArrayKeys"), File: "nbtutils.c", Line: 560, PID: 3251267

Best regards,
Alexander
