'natural join' core dump

postgresql 7.0.2
HPUX 10.20

configure --without-CXX --prefix=$HOME/pgsql --enable-cassert --enable-debug

create table a ( a integer, b integer );
create table b ( b integer, c integer );
create table c ( c integer, d integer );

-- core dumps
select * from a natural join b natural join c;
-- so does this
select * from a join b using (b) join c using (c);
-- this seems to work
select * from a join b on a.b = b.b join c on b.c = c.c;

back trace from the 'natural join' form shows:

The debug output shows it doing the first join correctly. It seems
to flake when it is running the attributes of the join to find the
correct attribute for the second join.
