I can't believe this :) I got hit by the "inner query needs to be aliased"
message and added it to the wrong place and them munged the query a lot.

The correct one was of course:
# select texten, total from (select protocolid, count(*) as total from ips
where catid=1 group by protocolid order by protocolid) as c
inner join protocols using (protocolid);
