Re: ERROR: negative bitmapset member not allowed in SELECT

Hi everyone,

I noticed that this bug was fixed in five recent commits by Tomas.
Thanks a lot, Tomas! This really helps me continue testing Postgres.

The five commits (e.g. [1]) reference a bug report by Andreas who
reported a crash in an email with a timestamp 2019-07-10 20:37:51 [2].
However, it seems that I first reported what seems to be the same
underlying bug, namely in the first email of this thread with a
timestamp 2019-07-10 15:39:22 [3], where the bug results in the error
"negative bitmapset member not allowed". Could it be that (some of)
the five commits should actually have been attributed to me? I hope
this does not appear too pedantic, but I'm developing a new DBMS
testing tool, and it would be important for me to know which bug
findings and associated commits can be attributed to it.

By the way, I also reported two crashing bugs, which seem to expose
the same underlying bug [4], but after Andreas.

Best,
Manuel
