Presents in 6.2.1 too...

Caused by bad execution plan:

Result (cost=0.00 size=0 width=0)
-> Seq Scan on aaa (cost=0.00 size=0 width=0)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Target list of SeqScan is empty => ExecProject returns NULL...
Optimizer should put Constant into Result' childplan target list
if it's empty. Easy to fix. Anyone ?
