Hi again folks.

Well, this problem just got a lot bigger.

The previous update that does a sequential scan where it used to (under
6.2.1) do an index search on the outside condition just showed up in another
process - and caused it to generate a 426MB core image, at which point it
blew chunks.

Folks, this is a big deal, and may be why some people are seeing problems
with 6.3.  If someone doesn't come up with a fix for this pretty quickly
we're going to have to back out 6.3 here entirely.
