Vadim,

I downloaded the snapshot of Feb 18 and tried it. I noticed it's much
harder indeed to reproduce the bug (as compared to 6.2.1p6), but
occasionaly the bug appeared.

After installing your code the bug disappeared completely. I also tried
a couple of group-by queries on my production database, and tried both
in-memory sorting and on-disk sorting, but everything seems ok now.

So I guess congratulations are in order.

Thanks!

Cheers,
Ronald
