(I fixed that oids-only problem.  It's a tweak I'm adding to improve  
join efficiency in the new query planner.  Sorry that crept into the  
main code base).

I highly recommend you switch to the new repository, elephant-1.0.  We  
should be able to figure out any problems you have shortly.

Regards,
Ian
