Bogus nestloop rows estimate in 8.4.7

Hi list,

This bug isn't causing me any immediate problems -- the plan works out
well regardless -- but PostgreSQL 8.4.7 is somehow overestimating the
number of rows coming from a nestloop join, when joining 2 large
partitioned tables. Maybe it's been fixed in more recent versions,
sadly it's an EOL Linux distro and I have no immediate plans to
upgrade.

It's estimating to join 135957 x 281 rows, but the product is somehow
2946151270877

In reality, it's joining 132577 x ~1 rows to get 133116 results
