The following nonsensical query causes PostgreSQL to fail with ERROR: plan
should not reference subplan's variable. (This was stripped down from an
'useful' query that triggered the same bug). First encountered on 8.3.4,
reproduced on 8.3.7

BEGIN;

CREATE SCHEMA bug_schema;
SET SEARCH_PATH='bug_schema';

CREATE FUNCTION AGG_GROUP_CONCAT_SFUNC(IN _state TEXT, IN _str TEXT, IN _sep
TEXT) RETURNS TEXT
SECURITY INVOKER
LANGUAGE PLPGSQL
IMMUTABLE
CALLED ON NULL INPUT
AS $PROC$
BEGIN
IF _str IS NULL THEN RETURN _state; END IF;
IF _state IS NULL THEN RETURN _str; END IF;
RETURN _state || _sep || _str;
END;
$PROC$;

CREATE AGGREGATE GROUP_CONCAT(TEXT, TEXT) (
STYPE = TEXT,
SFUNC = AGG_GROUP_CONCAT_SFUNC
);

CREATE TABLE foo (
id serial NOT NULL,
fname varchar(64) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id)
);

-- Fails: ERROR: plan should not reference subplan's variable
SELECT (SELECT GROUP_CONCAT((SELECT s2.fname FROM foo AS s2 WHERE
s2.id=s.idORDER BY fname), '; ')) AS foolist FROM foo AS s;

-- Also fails, same error
SELECT (SELECT MAX((SELECT s2.fname FROM foo AS s2 WHERE s2.id=s.id ORDER BY
fname))) AS foomaxFROM foo AS s;

ROLLBACK;
