If you're comfortable running under gdb you can try putting the oafd 
process under the debugger while you run the query with oaf-run-query. I'd 
set a breakpoint on qexp_func_prefer_by_list_order and see what happens in 
there. Or you could add printfs to that function and then kill and restart 
oafd and debug that way.

[If not, maybe you can set up a way for me to ssh to that machine so I can 
debug it, or perhaps we can have a debugging session with us talking via 
IRC, but that probably won't be today.]
