(rehash from firebird-devel)

The following query is very slow and ultimately fails due to lack of
disk space. The temp file grows to more than 2GB.
The relevant metadata is below. TABLE1 has ca. 1000 records, TABLE2
ca. 150000.
I am a bit surprised about this because postgres has no problems
with this query and provides the result in seconds.
