Adding a column with default value possibly corrupting a functional index.

Hi,

I have an index on upper(general.cat_url(category_id)) on a table.
when i add a column *with* default value , a query that previously
used to give result does not give results anymore. REINDEX'ing the
table produces correct result. if no default value is giving while adding
the column the query continues to give proper result.

general.cat_url(category_id)::text) = 'AGRICULTURE';
