Thanks Tom!

Interesting, what do you mean by Plan trees are 'read only' now? Is it the distinction between Plan trees and their corresponding PlanState nodes that indicate the 'read only' behaviour and the 'writeable' state of the Plan, respectively, that was introduced at that time?

Ok, but what type has this qual from my example that was once a OpExpr as soon as it arrives at ExecQual? It's obviously not a OpExpr - otherwise _outNode wouldn't stumble over it.
(Is there a way do get this type info with gdb's help?)

Thanks, I hadn't seen the VERBOSE option before.
