I am not sure why, but in 6.4.2 a create table, create index, insert,
select * from tab where indexedcol=5 did actually use the index path,
even if table reltuples and relpages was 0.
It currently uses a seq scan, which is exactly what we wanted to avoid 
in the newly created table case, but do want on an actually small table.

Please apply the patch I previously sent.
